Good men are the stars, the planets of the ages wherein they live, and illustrate the times.
A good man should and must Sit rather down with loss than rise unjust.
If men will impartially, and not asquint, look toward the offices and function of a poet, they will easily conclude to themselves the impossibility of any man's being a good poet without first being a good man.
Good men but see death, the wicked taste it.
A good man will avoid the spot of any sin. The very aspersion is grievous, which makes him choose his way in his life, as he would in his journey.
