The world is grown so bad, that wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch.Since every Jack became a gentleman,There's many a gentle person made a Jack.
I dare to do all that may become a man: who dares do more is none.
More can I bear than you dare execute.
No stony bulwark can resist the love, and love dares what anyone can love.
Men that make Envy and crooked malice nourishment, Dare bite the best.
I wonder men dare trust themselves with men.
For stony limits cannot hold love out.And what love can do that dares love attempt.
Then love-devouring Death do what he dare.
I am not worthy of the wealth I owe, nor dare I say 'tis mine, and yet it is; but, like a timorous thief, most fain would steal what law does vouch mine own.
Each substance of a grief hath twenty shadows
Every one can master a grief but he that has it
The blood more stirsTo rouse a lion than to start a hare!
The better part of valor is discretion, in the which better part I have saved my life
Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
