Thou that hast given so much to me give me one thing more, a grateful heart: not thankful when it pleaseth me, as if Thy blessings had spare days, but such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise.

To bee beloved is above all bargaines.

The gentle Hawke halfe mans her selfe.

Great almes-giving lessens no mans living.

Long jesting was never good.

That which will not be spun, let it not come betweene the spindle and the distaffe.

Hee that repaires not a part, builds all.
