The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes.

Suspicion and jealousy never did help any man in any situation.

The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is.

Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.

What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties! In form and moving, how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?

The life of an uneducated man is as useless as the tail of a dog which neither covers its rear end, nor protects it from the bites of insects.
