Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable.

The inquiry of truth, which is the love-making, or the wooing of it, the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it, and the belief of truth, which is the enjoying of it, is the sovereign good of human nature.

There was never law, or sect, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth.

Never any knowledge was delivered in the same order it was invented.

A sudden bold and unexpected question doth many times surprise a man and lay him open.

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.
