Additional quotes by George Chapman

Let pride go afore, shame will follow after.

As far as white Aurora's dews are sprinkled through the air.

Our hopes, I see, resemble much the sun,
That rising and declining cast large shadows;
But when his beams are dressed in's midday brightness,
Yields none at all: when they are farthest from
Success, their guilt reflection does display
The largest shows of events fair and prosperous.
