About me: “I am a wise fellow, and which is more, an officer, and which is more, a householder, and which is more, as pretty a piece of flesh as any in Messina, and one that knows the law- go to! – and a rich fellow enough – go to! – and a fellow that hath had losses, and one that hath two gowns, and everything handsome about him." (4.2.81-87)
Personal philosophy: “Truly, I would not hang a dog by my will, much more a man who hath any honesty in him.” (3.3.61-62)
