Never learned
The icy precepts of respect, but followed
The sugared game before thee. But myself,
Who had the world as my confectionary,
The mouths, the tongues, the eyes and hearts of men
At duty, more than I could frame employment,
That numberless upon me stuck as leaves
Do on the oak, hive with one winter's brush
Fell from their boughs and left me open, bare
For every storm that blows.
Timon of Athens, 4. 3

I'll example you with thievery:
The sun's a thief, and with his great attraction
Robs the vast sea; the moon's an arrant thief,
And her pale fire she snatches from the sun;
The sea's a thief, whose liquid surge resolves
The moon into salt tears; the earth's a thief,
That feeds and breeds by a composture stolen
From general excrement: each thing's a thief.
Timon of Athens, 4. 3

He has almost charmed me from my profession, by persuading me to it.
Timon of Athens, 4. 3

My long sickness
Of health and living now begins to mend,
And nothing brings me all things.
Timon of Athens, 5. 1

Life's uncertain voyage.
Timon of Athens, 5. 1

Timon hath made his everlasting mansion
Upon the beached verge of the salt flood;
Who once a day with his embossed froth
The turbulent surge shall cover.
Timon of Athens, 5. 1
