APHORISMS FROM SHAKESPEARE, 1-125.

IRTUE itself 'scapes not calumnious strokes.

VIRT

He who not needs shall never lack a friend. No heart so fierce but knows some touch of pity. The worm of conscience still gnaws the soul.

Why should calamity be full of words?

What is the city but the people?

Extremity is the trier of the spirits.

Common chances common men can bear.

A man is loved when he is lacked.

An old man's tears are salter than a youth's.
Our content is our best having.

Woman is naturally born to fears.

We cannot hold mortality's strong hand.
Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all.

15 None can cure their harms by wailing them.
Striving to better oft we mar what's well.
Who most wants advice will hear none.
Extreme joy hides itself in tears.

Time is the nurse and breeder of all good. 20 A friend should bear a friend's infirmities. We rarely like the virtues we have not.

Cowards father cowards and base things sire base.
Seek not for danger where there is no profit.
Great griefs medicine the less.

25 Some falls are means the happier to rise.
Safer to fear too far than trust too far.
Stony limits cannot hold love out.
Dreams are the children of an idle brain.
Silence is the most perfect herald of joy.

F. S.

30 Let thy fair wisdom, not thy passion sway.
Young blood will not obey an old decree.
Honest plain words best pierce the ear of grief.
Friendship begets new courage in our breast.
Banish the canker of ambitious thoughts.
35 Sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud.
Cares and joys go round as seasons fleet.
A heart unspotted is not easily daunted.
Small things make base men proud.

Women are soft, mild, pitiful and flexible.
40 To weep is to make less the depth of sorrow.
Things ill-got had ever bad success.

The heavens are just and time suppresseth wrong.
Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind.
Women are wooed and were not made to woo.
45 Things out of hope are compassed oft with venturing.
They thrive well that take counsel of their friends.
Long still are lovers' hours, though seeming short.
Each present joy or sorrow seems the chief.
Mud not the fountain that gave drink to thee.
50 Mar not what marred can never be amended.
A mournful host ill brooks with merry guests.
Cowardice boldly wounds a body dead.

Deep sounds make lesser noise than shallow fords.
Honesty has its looks, not words, for gage.

55 Short time seems long in sorrow's sharp sustaining. Slander's choice mark was ever yet the fair.

The sweetest praise turns sour by evil deeds.
Less is the danger mostly than the fear.

The law and not the judge condemns the criminal. 60 What cannot be eschewed must be embraced. A head-strong liberty is lasht with woe.

Ill deeds are doubled with an evil word.
Time is a thief and steals by night and day.
Fancy is comfort oft, oft injury.

65 Continued wrongs may make the wisest mad.
The poorest service is repaid with thanks.
Custom makes sin seem in account no sin.
Few love to hear the sins they love to act.
Want teaches man remembrance what man is.

70 The good are fittest that the heaven should have them. Companionship in woe doth woe assuage.
