 Time, the subtle thief of youth |
| To be blind is not miserable; not to be able to bear blindness, that is miserable. |
| To be weak is miserable / Doing or suffering. |
| To behold the wandering moon, / Riding near her highest noon, / Like one that had been led astray / Through the heav'n's wide pathless way; / And oft, as if her head she bowed, / Stooping through a fleecy cloud. |
| To bottomless perdition, there to dwell / In adamantine chains and penal fire. |
| To chronicle the wars of kites and crows, fighting in the air. |
| To know That which before us lies in daily life, Is the prime Wisdom; what is more, is fume, Or emptiness, or fond impertinence |
| To live a life half-dead, a living death |
| To many a youth and many a maid, / Dancing in the chequered shade. |
| To reign is worth ambition though in hell: Better to reign in hell, than serve in heav'n |
| Tomorrow to fresh woods, and pastures new |
| Towered cities please us then / And the busy hum of men. |
| True it is that covetousness is rich, modesty starves. |
| Truth is as impossible to be soiled by any outward touch as the sunbeam |
| Truth never comes into the world but like a bastard, to the ignominy of him that brought her birth. |
