Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones.
There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat....
To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.
