Don't ask of your friends what you yourself can do.

To open his lips is crime in a plain citizen.

No one regards what is before his feet; we all gaze at the stars.

A little moralizing's good - a little: I like a taste, but not a bath of it.

He hath freedom whoso beareth clean and constant heart within.

Here is he laid to whom for daring deed, nor friend nor foe could render worthy meed.

He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise.

O friend unseen, unborn, unknown, Student of our sweet English tongue, I never indulge in poetics - Unless I am down with rheumatics.

They hate whom they fear.
