He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief.
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.
Nothing is terrible except fear itself.
Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor.
Wise men make more opportunities than they find.
Friends are thieves of time.
