Remember that in all miseries lamenting becomes fools, and action, wise folk.
O you virtuous owle, The wise Minerva's only fowle.
To the disgrace of men it is seen that there are women both more wise to judge what evil is expected, and more constant to bear it when it happens.
Who will ever give counsel, if the counsel be judged by the event, and if it be not found wise, shall therefore be thought wicked?
A dull head thinks of no better way to show himself wise, than by suspecting everything in his way.
