The atrocious crime of being a young man . . . I shall neither attempt to palliate nor deny.

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail, its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter, the rain may enter -- but the King of England cannot enter; all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!

The oldest hath borne most: we that are young,Shall never see so much, nor live so long.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

We are gentlemen that neither in our hearts nor outward eyes envy the great nor shall the low despise.

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
