If Thy Heart Fails Thee, Climb Not

I Find That I Sent Wolves Not Shepherds To Govern Ireland, For They Have Left Me Nothing But Ashes And Carcasses To Reign Over!

If We Still Advise We Shall Never Do.

[to Edward De Vere, Earl Of Oxford, On His Return From Self-imposed Exile, Occasioned By The Embarrassing Flatulence He Had Experienced In The Presence Of The Queen:] My Lord, I Had Forgot The Fart.

A Fool Too Late Bewares When All The Peril Is Past.

If Thy Heart Fails Thee, Climb Not At All.
