On investing

Poor and content is rich, and rich enough; But riches fineless is as poor as winter To him that ever fears he shall be poor; -Good heaven, the souls of all my tribe defend From jealousy!
He that dies pays all debts.
Fortune, that arrant whore, Ne'er turns the key to th'poor.
There is thy gold, worse poison to men's souls, Doing more murder in this loathsome world, Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell.

Men at some time are masters of their fates.
Tis in ourselves that we are thus or thus. Our bodies are our gardens to the which our wills are gardeners.
Sweet are the uses of adversity.
I take thee at thy word: Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized; Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
Small herbs have grace, great weeds to grow apace.
Suit the action to the word, the Word to the action.
I can't talk, or I will throw up!
Ambition should be made from sterner stuff.
Like madness is the glory of this life.
Give me that man That is not passion's slave.
Alas, my lord, your wisdom is consumed in confidence.
Screw your courage to the sticking-place.
Hell is empty and all the devils are here.
All things are ready, if our mind be so.
What's done can't be undone.
Courage mounteth with occasion.
Silence is the herald of joy.
In time we hate that which we often fear.
To climb steep hills Requires slow pace at first.
