The fear of death is worse than death.

I say with Didacus Stella, a dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself

Like Aesop's fox, when he had lost his tail, would have all his fellow foxes cut off theirs

Most part of a lover's life is full of agony, anxiety, fear and grief, complaints, sighs, suspicions, and cares (heigh-ho my heart is woe), full of silence and irksome solitariness

Be not solitary, be not idle

Carcasses bleed at the sight of the murderer.
