We inherit nothing truly, but what our actions make us worthy of.

George Chapman

And for the authentical truth of either person or actions, who (worth the respecting) will expect it in a poem, whose subject is not truth, but things like truth? Poor envious souls they are that cavil at truth's want in these natural fictions; material instruction, elegant and sententious excitation to virtue, and deflection from her contrary, being the soul, limbs, and limits of an authentical tragedy.

George Chapman

He is at no end of his actions blest
Whose ends will make him greatest, and not best.

George Chapman
