 What reinforcement we may gain from hope; If not, what resolution from despair. |
| What wisdom can there be to choose, what continence to forbear without the knowledge of evil? He that can apprehend and consider vice with all her baits and seeming pleasures, and yet abstain, and yet distinguish, and yet prefer that which is truly better, he is the true wayfaring Christian. |
| When complaints are freely heard, deeply considered and speedily reformed, then is the utmost bound of civil liberty attained that wise men look for. |
| When I consider how my light is spent / Ere half my days in this dark world and wide, / And that one talent which is death to hide, / Lodged with me useless. |
| When night Darkens the streets, then wander forth the sons Of Belial, flown with insolence and wine |
| Whence and what art thou, execrable shape? |
| Where more is meant than meets the ear. |
| Where no hope is left, is left no fear. |
| Where there is much desire to learn, there of necessity will be much arguing, much writing, many opinions; for opinions in good men is but knowledge in the making |
| Wherefore with thee / Came not all hell broke loose? |
| Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell; And in the lowest deep a lower deep Still threat'ning to devour me opens wide, To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heav'n |
| While the cock with lively din, Scatters the rear of darkness thin; And to the stack, or the barn door, Stoutly struts his dames before; Oft list'ning how the hounds and horn, Cheerly rouse the slumb'ring morn |
| Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image, but thee who destroys a good book, kills reason its self. |
| Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe |
| Wisest men / Have erred, and by bad women been deceived; / And shall again, pretend they ne'er so wise. |
