What a deformed thief this fashion is.
A very little thief of occasion will rob you of a great deal of patience.
The most peaceable way for you, if you do take a thief, is, to let him show himself what he is and steal out of your company.
O me, you juggler, you canker-blossom, you thief of love!
Every true man's apparel fits your thief.
Beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold.
Thieves for their robbery have authority When judges steal themselves.

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.
Striving to be better, oft we mar what's well.
