Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other.
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.
