Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin
Nothing can come of nothing
No legacy is so rich as honesty
My pride fell with my fortunes
Modest doubt is called the beacon of the wise
Maids want nothing but husbands, and when they have them, they want everything
Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better
Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs
Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none
