Philip Massinger

Ambition, in a private man is a vice, is in a prince the virtue.

Let us love temperately, things violent last not.

Death hath a thousand doors to let out life: I shall find one.

Many good purposes lie in the churchyard.

True dignity is never gained by place, and never lost when honors are withdrawn.

I had not to this time subsisted, but that I was supported by your frequent courtesies and favours.
