Additional quotes by William Alexander, 1st Earl of Stirling

Though I was long in coming to the light,
Yet may I mount to fortune's highest height.

The weaker sex, to piety more prone.

I hope, I fear, resolved, and yet I doubt,
I'm cold as ice, and yet I burn as fire;
I wot not what, and yet I much desire,
And trembling too, am desperately stout.
