To be a husbandman, is but a retreat from the city; to be a philosopher, from the world; or rather, a retreat from the world, as it is man's, into the world, as it is God's.

All the world's bravery that delights our eyes is but thy several liveries.

Lukewarmness I account a sin, as great in love as in religion.

Nothing so soon the drooping spirits can raise As praises from the men, whom all men praise.

The getting out of doors is the greatest part of the journey.

Neither the praise nor the blame is our own.

As for being much known by sight, and pointed out, I cannot comprehend the honor that lies withal; whatsoever it be, every mountebank has it more than the best doctor.
