The drops of rain make a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by oft falling.
The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.

He that strives to touch the starts, oft stumbles at a straw.
So mightiest powers buy deepest calms are fed, And sleep, how oft, in things that gentlest be!
Love-quarrels oft in pleasing concord end.
Lives of great men oft remind us as we o'er their pages turn, That we too may leave behind us - Letters that we ought to burn.

In my conscience, I believe that my heart has been so oft on fire that it is absolutely vitrified.
How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!
Though men determine, the gods doo dispose: and oft times many things fall out betweene the cup and the lip.
