We know what we are, but not what we may be. - William Shakespeare

"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."

"There's a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads onto fortune, omitted, all their voyages end in shallows and miseries. Upon such tide are we now..."

"I bear a charmed life."

"Knowing I lov'd my books, he furnish'd me From mine own library with volumes that I prize above my dukedom."

"Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none."
