More George Chapman sayings
An Englishman, being flattered, is a lamb; threatened, a lion....And let a scholar all earth's volumes carry, he will...Be free all worthy spirits, and stretch yourselves, for greatness...Extremes, though contrary, have the like effects. Extreme heat kills,...Flatterers look like friends, as wolves like dogs....For one heat, all know, doth drive out another, One...He that shuns trifles must shun the world....I am ashamed the law is such an ass....Ignorance is the mother of admiration....Let no man under value the price of a virtuous...Promise is most given when the least is said....Pure innovation is more gross than error....They're only truly great who are truly good....We inherit nothing truly, but what our actions make us...Who to himself is law, no law doth need, offends...
