There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so
There is no darkness but ignorance
The will of man is by his reason swayed
The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream

The fashion wears out more apparel than the man
The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose
