A reputation once broken may possibly be repaired, but the world will always keep their eyes on the spot where the crack was.
Joseph Hall
Moderation is the silken string running through the pearl chain of all virtues.
Perfection is the child of time.
Death borders upon our birth, and our cradle stands in the grave.
Let others either envy or pity me; I care not, so long as I enjoy myself.
Let me know myself; let others guess at me.
We must first pray, that God would make us wise; before we can wish, he would make us happy.
A man's opinion is in others; his being is in himself.
He is great enough that is his own master.
And, if I were so low that I accounted myself the worst of all, yet some would account themselves in worse case.
He is a very humble man, that thinks not himself better than some others.
What fools are we, to be besotted with the love of our own trouble, and to hate our liberty and rest!
