To fear the worst oft cures the worst.
A smile cures the wounding of a frown.
None can cure their harms by wailing them.
To fear the worst oft cures the worse.
Your tale, sir, would cure deafness.
Blind fear, that seeing reason leads, finds safer footing than blind reason stumbling without fear: to fear the worst oft cures the worse.
Diseases desperate grown By desperate appliances are relieved, Or not at all.
Falsehood falsehood cures
Care is no cure, but rather corrosive, For things that are not to be remedied.
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves; we are underlings.
Yond' Cassius has a lean and hungry look; He thinks too much: such men are dangerous
We came into the world like brother and brother;And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another.
Over hill, over dale,Thorough bush, thorough brier,Over park, over pale,Thorough flood, thorough fire,I do wander everywhere.
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
