Life is a story told about you, not one that you tell.

You think you're the painter, but you're the canvas.

I grieve for you, Jonathan; you were very dear to me. Your love for me was wonderful, more wonderful than that of women.

As the Bible says, “The soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David.”

"You may be sure that I love the Earl of Buckingham more than anyone else, and more than you who are here assembled. I wish to speak in my own behalf and not to have it thought to be a defect, for Jesus Christ did the same, and therefore I cannot be blamed. Christ had his John, and I have my George."

Shall the day of parting be the day of gathering? And shall it be said that my eve was in truth my dawn?

Forget not that modesty is for a shield against the eye of the unclean.

And when the unclean shall be no more, what were modesty but a fetter and a fouling of the mind?
