If they smile
  And say 'twill do, I know within a while
    All the best men are ours; for 'tis ill hap,

Surely, sir,
  There's in him stuff that puts him to these ends;
    For, being not propped by ancestry, whose grace
      Chalks successors their way, nor called upon
        For high feats done to th' crown, neither allied
          To eminent assistants, but spiderlike
            Out of his self-drawing web, 'a gives us note,
              The force of his own merit makes his way,
                A gift that heaven gives for him, which buys
                  A place next to the king.

Things done well
  And with a care exempt themselves from fear;
    Things done without example, in their issue
      Are to be feared.
      - The Life of King Henry the Eighth
         (King Henry at I, ii) [Action : Fear]

We must not stint
  Our necessary actions in the fear
    To cope malicious censurers, which ever,

          Than vainly longing.
      - The Life of King Henry the Eighth
         (Wolsey at I, ii) [Action]

What we oft do best,
  By sick interpreters (once weak ones) is

        For our best act.
