There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.

The evil that men do lives after them the good is oft interred with their bones.

Women may fall when there's no strength in men.

Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land the great ones eat up the little ones.

Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.
