We might knit that knot with our tongues that we shall never undo with our teeth.
— John Lyly
A merry companion is as good as a wagon.
He that loseth his honesty hath nothing else to lose.
Marriages are made in heaven and consummated on Earth.
To give reason for fancy were to weigh the fire, and measure the wind.
A clear conscience is a sure card.
Where the mind is past hope, the heart is past shame.
As the best wine doth make the sharpest vinegar, so the deepest love turneth to the deadliest hate.
Night hath a thousand eyes.
The sun shineth upon the dunghill, and is not corrupted.
The true measure of life is not length, but honesty.
