  3. Delay always breeds danger.
  4. Take care, your worship, those things over there are not giants but windmills.
  5. I find my familiarity with thee has bred contempt.
  6. A knight errant who turns mad for a reason deserves neither merit nor thanks. The thing is to do it without cause.
  7. Many count their chickens before they are hatched; and where they expect bacon, meet with broken bones.
  8. In me the need to talk is a primary impulse, and I can't help saying right off what comes to my tongue.
