A noble birth and fortune, though they make not a bad man good, yet they are a real advantage to a worthy one and place his virtues in a fairer light. - [Birth] Exalted souls Have passions in proportion violent, Resistless, and tormenting; they're a tax Imposed by nature on pre-eminence, And fortitude and wisdom must support them. - [Passion] The firmest purpose of a woman's heart to well-timed, artful flattery may yield. - [Flattery] When gratitude o'erflows the swelling heart, and breathes in free and uncorrupted praise for benefits received, propitious heaven takes such acknowledgment as fragrant incense, and doubles all its blessings. - [Gratitude] What shall we call this undetermin'd state, This narrow isthmus 'twixt two boundless oceans, That whence we came, and that to which we tend? - Arden of Feversham (act III, sc. 2) [Life]
