“When we think we lead, we are most led.”

“I am not now that which I have been.”

“Ah! happy years! once more who would not be a boy!”

“Let whatever appears to be the best be to you an inviolable law.”

“Lord, what fools these mortals be!”

“All that glisters is not gold.”

“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.”

“And one man in his time plays many parts.”

“Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.”
