#Error
Truth will sooner come out of error than from confusion.
#Death
Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and
as that natural fear in children is increased with tales,
so is the other.
#Communication
Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man
and writing an exact man.
#Books
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed,
and some few to be chewed and digested.
#Body
A healthy body is a guest chamber for the soul; a sick
body is a prison.
#Belief
Man prefers to believe what he prefers to be true.
#Age and ageing
Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to
trust, and old authors to read.
#Prosperity
Prosperity doth best discover vice, but adversity doth
best discover virtue.
#Adversity
He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity.
#Ability
Natural abilities are like natural plants that need pruning
by study.
