1. Butler:

   Man is supreme lord and master Of his own ruin and disaster, Controls his fate, but nothing less In ordering his own happiness: For all his care and providence Is too feeble a defence To render it secure and certain Against the injuries of Fortune; And oft, in spite of all his wit, Is lost by one unlucky hit, And ruined with a circumstance, And mere punctilio of a chance.

2. William Shakespeare, "Hamlet", Act 1 scene 3:

   Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.

3. William Shakespeare:

   Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie.

4. William Blake:

   Thy friendship oft has made my heart to ache do be my enemy--for friendship's sake.

5. William Shakespeare:

   Oft expectation fails, and most oft where most it promises; and oft it hits where hope is coldest; and despair most sits.
