We are time’s subjects, and time bids be gone.

He that is giddy thinks the world turns round.

One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.

Modest doubt is called the beacon of the wise.

Time and the hour run through the roughest day.

Nature hath framed strange fellows in her time.

Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.

Lawless are they that make their wills their law.

Things won are done, joy’s soul lies in the doing.

Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.

When words are scarce they are seldom spent in vain.

False face must hide what the false heart doth know.

Words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart.

‘Tis one thing to be tempted, another thing to fall.

Suit the action to the word, the word to the action.

It will have blood, they say; blood will have blood.

Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.

Let every eye negotiate for itself and trust no agent.

Exceeds man’s might: that dwells with the gods above.

‘Tis best to weigh the enemy more mighty than he seems.
