A great ship asks deep water.
The best mirror is an old friend.
One father is more than 100 schoolmasters.
Drink not the third glass - which thou can'st not tame when once it is within thee.
Deceive not thy physician confessor nor lawyer.
That flesh is but the glass, which holds the dust That measures all our time; which also shall Be crumbled into dust.
Man is no star, but a quick coalOf mortal fire:Who blows it not, nor doth controlA faint desire,
Be calm in arguing: for fierceness makes Error a fault, and truth discourtesy.
Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright,The bridal of the earth and sky;The dew shall weep thy fall tonight,For thou must die.
Throw away thy rod, throw away thy wrath; O my God, take the gentle path.
Love bade me welcome; yet my soul drew back,Guiltie of dust and sin.
