Zitat des Tages von George Chapman:
We inherit nothing truly, but what our actions make us worthy of.
He that shuns trifles must shun the world.
An Englishman, being flattered, is a lamb; threatened, a lion.
Promise is most given when the least is said.
Ignorance is the mother of admiration.
I am ashamed the law is such an ass.
For one heat, all know, doth drive out another, One passion doth expel another still.
And let a scholar all earth's volumes carry, he will be but a walking dictionary: a mere articulate clock.
Be free all worthy spirits, and stretch yourselves, for greatness and for height.
They're only truly great who are truly good.
Pure innovation is more gross than error.
Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always like it the least.
Extremes, though contrary, have the like effects. Extreme heat kills, and so extreme cold: extreme love breeds satiety, and so extreme hatred; and too violent rigor tempts chastity, as does too much license.
Let no man under value the price of a virtuous woman's counsel.
