“Tears are the noble language of the eye.” — Robert Herrick

In things a moderation keep; Kings ought to shear, not skin, their sheep.

The body is the soul's poor house or home, whose ribs the laths are and whose flesh the loam.

Know when to speak - for many times it brings danger, to give the best advice to kings.

Thus times do shift, each thing his turn does hold; New things succeed, as former things grow old.
