The Tip No Jewel Needs To Wear:

Laws Are Not Made Like Lime-twigs Or Nets, To Catch Everything That Toucheth Them; But Rather Like Sea-marks, To Guide From Shipwreck The Ignorant Passenger.

Ambition, Like Love, Can Abide No Lingering; And Ever Urgeth On His Own Successes, Hating Nothing But What May Stop Them.

There Is A Certain Delicacy Which In Yielding Conquers; And With A Pitiful Look Makes One Find Cause To Crave Help One's Self.

Our Erected Wit Maketh Us To Know What Perfection Is.

For As Much As To Understand And To Be Mighty Are Great Qualities, The Higher That They Be, They Are So Much The Less To Be Esteemed If Goodness Also Abound Not In The Possessor.
