I perceive affection makes a fool Of any man too much the father.

Men that talk of their own benefits are not believed to talk of them because they have done them, but to have done them because they might talk of them.

Language most shows a man; speak that I may see thee; it springs out of the most retired and inmost parts of us, and is the image of the parent of it, the mind. No glass renders a man's form or likeness so true as his speech.

A valiant man Ought not to undergo, or tempt a danger, But worthily, and by selected ways, He undertakes with reason, not by chance. His valor is the salt t' his other virtues, They're all unseason'd without it.

Truth is man's proper good, and the only immortal thing was given to our mortality to use.
