“First, then, a woman will, or won't, - depend on't; If she will do't, she will; and there's an end on't. But, if she won't, since safe and sound your trust is, Fear is affront: and jealousy injustice.”

“Deeds are the pulse of time, his beating life, And righteous means are trophies of no strife.”

“Birth is a shadow. Courage, self-sustained, Outlords succession's phlegm-and needs no ancestors.”

“Oh, jealousy, thou bane of pleasing friendship, thou worst invader of our tender bosoms.”

“Hide not thy tears; weep boldly, and be proud to give the flowing virtue manly way; 'tis nature's mark to know an honest heart by.”

“Shame on the dull, who slavery love, and may be free.”

“Tender-handed stroke a nettle, And it stings you for your pains; Grasp it like a man of mettle, And it soft as silk remains.”

“Art, however innocent, looks like deceiving.”

“The soul is strong that trusts in goodness.”

“For when the power of imparting joy is equal to the will, the human soul requires no other heaven.”
