"Thou weigh'st thy words before thou givest..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“If thou art rich, thou art poor; for, like an ass, whose back with ingots bows, thou bearest thy heavy riches but a journey, and death unloads thee.”

“Don't trust the person who has broken faith once.”

“For sorrow ends not, when it seemeth done.”

“Demetrius was wont to say that there was no difference between the words and speech of the unskilled and ignorant and the sounds and rumblings caused by the stomach being full of superfluous wind. This he said, not without reason, for, as he held, it did not in the least matter from what part of them the voice emanated, whether from the lower parts or the mouth, since the one and the other were of equal worth and importance.”

“The sentence must also contain its own apology for being spoken.”

“We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less.”

“A perfectly healthy sentence, it is true, is extremely rare. For the most part we miss the hue and fragrance of the thought; as if we could be satisfied with the dews of the morning or evening without their colors, or the heavens without their azure.”

“I take it to be true that pure thought can grasp the real, as the ancients had dreamed.”

“Make a spurious division of one process into two, forget that you have done it, and then puzzle for centuries as to how the two get together.”
