He never is alone that is accompanied with noble thoughts.

He never is alone that is accompanied with noble thoughts.
Then, everlasting Love, restrain thy will;'Tis god-like to have power, but not to kill.
Oh, woman, perfect woman! what distractionWhat an inviting hell invented.
Death hath so many doors to let out life.
Of all the paths lead to a woman's lovePity's the straightest.
'Tis a word that's quickly spoken,Which being restrained, a heart is broken.
Something given that way.
I'll put a spoke among your wheels.
Weep no more, nor sigh, nor groan,Makes not fresh nor grow again.
I'll have a fling.
O great corrector of enormous times,O' the pleurisy of people.
We must all die! Need lamentation for him?
Come, sing now, sing; for I know you sing well;I see you have a singing face.
Though I say't that should not say't.
Go far—too far you cannot, still the fartherThe more you look through still.
What mare's nest hast thou found?
Lie lightly on my ashes, gentle earthe.
Sing a song of sixpence.
Fortune, now see, now proudlyLook what thou hast brought this land to!—
From the crown of our head to the sole of our foot.

Thy clothes are all the soul thou hast.
Man is his own star, and the soul that canOur fatal shadows that walk by us still.
That soul that canBe honest is the only perfect man.
Charity and treating begin at home.
Let them learn first to show pity at home.
He 'as had a stinger.
Speak boldly, and speak truly, shame the devil.
Whistle, and she'll come to you.
Let the world slide.
Look babies in your eyes, my pretty sweet one.
Great things thro' greatest hazards are achiev'd,And then they shine.
I'll put that in my considering cap.
Drink today, and drown all sorrow;You shall perhaps not do't tomorrow.
And he that will to bed go soberFalls with the leaf in October.
Three merry boys, and three merry boys, Under the gallow-tree.
Three merry boys, and three merry boys,Under the gallows tree.
Let no man fear to die: We love to sleep all,And death is but the sounder sleep.
The foot in the grave.
First come, first served.
One good turn deserves another.
This is a pretty flimflam.
There is no jesting with edge tools.
That place that does containWith kings and emperors, and weigh their counsels.
This is a gimcrackThat can get nothing but new fashions on you.
There's nothing that allays an angry mindSo soon as a sweet beauty.
'Twas when young Eustace wore his heart in's breeches.
