Quotes

• “O if thou knew’st how thou thyself dost harm,And dost prejudge thy bliss, and spoil my rest;Then thou would’st melt the ice out of thy breastAnd thy relenting heart would kindly warm.”
• “The weaker sex, to piety more prone”
• “What life refused, to gain by death he thought:For life and death are but indifferent things,And of themselves not to be shunned nor sought,But for the good or ill that either brings.”
• “Death is the port where all may refuge find,The end of labour, entry unto rest.”
• “What thing so good which not some harm may bring?Even to be happy is a dangerous thing.”
• “Of all the tyrants that the world affords,Our own affections are the fiercest lords.”
