Let us love nobly, and live, and add again years and years unto years, till we attain to write threescore: this is the second of our reign.

Death and Dying

Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

Doubt

Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven.

Farewells

When I died last, and, Dear, I die as often as from thee I go though it be but an hour ago and lovers hours be full eternity.

Letters

Sir, more than kisses, letters mingle souls. For, thus friends absent speak.

Love

Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.

Pleasure

Pleasure is none, if not diversified.

Rejection

To be no part of any body, is to be nothing.

Suffering

Affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it.
