Meditation is the life of the soul: Action, the soul of meditation; and honor the reward of action.
Francis QuarlesThe way to bliss lies not on beds of down, And he that had no cross deserves no crown.
Francis QuarlesOf all vices take heed of drunkenness; other vices are but fruits of disordered affections--this disorders, nay, banishes reason; other vices but impair the soul--this demolishes her two chief faculties, the understanding and the will; other vices make their own way--this makes way for all vices; he that is a drunkard is qualified for all vice.
