Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.

God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.

In a false quarrel there is no true valor.

Let no such man be trusted.

They do not love that do not show their love.

The wheel is come full circle.

Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot that it do singe yourself.

Most dangerous is that temptation that doth goad us on to sin in loving virtue.

My pride fell with my fortunes.

Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds.

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

Life is as tedious as twice-told tale, vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.

When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.

Boldness be my friend.

I wasted time, and now doth time waste me.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

Men are April when they woo, December when they wed.
Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.

Give thy thoughts no tongue.

Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
