The fountain of beauty is the heart and every generous thought illustrates the walls of your chamber.

Knowledge descries; wisdom applies.

With a bloody flux of oaths vows deep revenge.

Think not thy love to God merits God's love to thee; His acceptance of thy duty crowns His own gifts in thee; man's love to God is nothing but a faint reflection of God's love to man.

The place of charity, like that of God, is everywhere.

Let all thy joys be as the month of May,And all thy days be as a marriage day.

Let the words of a virgin, though in a good cause, and to as good purpose, be neither violent, many, nor first, nor last; it is less shame for a virgin to be lost in a blushing silence than to be found in a bold eloquence.
