A Fair Woman Shall Not

I Willingly Confess That It Likes Me Better When I Find Virtue In A Fair Lodging Than When I Am Bound To Seek It In An Ill-favored Creature.

Our Erected Wit Maketh Us To Know What Perfection Is.

Solitude, The Sly Enemy That Doth Separate A Man From Well-doing.

Courage Ought To Be Guided By Skill, And Skill Armed By Courage. Neither Should Hardiness Darken Wit, Nor Wit Cool Hardiness. Be Valiant As Men Despising Death, But Confident As Unwonted To Be Overcome.

Whatever Comes Out Of Despair Cannot Bear The Title Of Valor, Which Should Be Lifted Up To Such A Height That Holding All Things Under Itself, It Should Be Able To Maintain Its Greatness, Even In The Midst Of Miseries.
