Affectation is the devil.
Heaven help every one to what is their just due, but let us have plain dealing.
When choler once is born, The tongue all curb doth scorn.
When a brave man flies, he must have discovered foul play.
To retire is not to fly. The valor which has not prudence for its basis is termed rashness, and the successful exploits of the rash are rather to be ascribed to good fortune than to courage.
