"Men at some time are masters of their fates."

"Men of few words are the best men."

"All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages."

"Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones."

"It is with books as with men: a very small number play a great part."

"Men are equal; it is not birth but virtue that makes the difference."
