Forget, forgive; conclude, and be agreed. [ William Shakespeare ]

Esteem'd a blessing, is to me a curse;
And we, whom from our high births they conclude
The only free men, are the only slaves:
Happy the golden mean. [ Massinger ]

The zeal which begins with hypocrisy must conclude in treachery; at first it deceives, at last it betrays. [ Bacon ]

Circles and right lines limit and close all bodies, and the mortal rightlined circle must conclude and shut up all. [ Sir Thomas Browne ]

The best way to come to truth is to examine things as they really are, and not to conclude they are, as we have been taught by others to imagine. [ Locke ]

He that had never seen a river imagined the first he met with to be the sea; and the greatest things that have fallen within our knowledge we conclude the extremes that nature makes of the kind. [ Montaigne ]
