Sir Philip Sidney

High erected thoughts seated in the heart of courtesy.

He cometh unto with a tale which holdeth children from play, and old men from the chimney corner.

My dear, my better half.

Either I will find a way, or I will make one.

A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger.

No sword bites so fiercely as an evil tongue.

Each excellent thing, once learned, serves for a measure of all other knowledge.

Fearfulness, contrary to all other vices, maketh a man think the better of another, the worse of himself.

Commonly they must use their feet for defense whose only weapon is their tongue.

The best legacy I can leave my children is free speech, and the example of using it.
