The brain may devise laws for the blood; but a hot temper leaps over a cold decree.
Hot lavender, mints, savory, marjoram; The marigold, that goes to bed wi' the sun, and with him rise weeping.
Hot blood begets hot thoughts, And hot thoughts beget Hot deeds, And hot deeds is love.
For in my youth I never did apply Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood.
I do not seek to quench your love's hot fire, But qualify the fire's extreme rage, Lest it should burn above the bounds of reason.
Like to the time o' the year between the extremesOf hot and cold, he was not sad nor merry.
Glendower: I can call the spirits from the vasty deep. Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man; But will they come, when you do call for them?
The gods are deaf to hot and peevish vows. They are polluted off'rings, more abhorred! Than spotted livers in the sacrifice.
A cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying Tiber in 't.
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.
