George Chapman quotes
Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always like it the least.
An Englishman, being flattered, is a lamb; threatened, a lion.
And let a scholar all earth's volumes carry, he will be but a walking dictionary: a mere articulate clock.
Danger, the spur of all great minds.
Extremes, though contrary, have the like effects. Extreme heat kills, and so extreme cold: extreme love breeds satiety, and so extreme hatred; and too violent rigor tempts chastity, as does too much license.
Let no man under value the price of a virtuous woman's counsel.
Promise is most given when the least is said.
Pure innovation is more gross than error.
They're only truly great who are truly good.
Young men think old men are fools; but old men know young men are fools.
