Death comes equally to us all, and makes us all equal when it comes.

Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee, as souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be, to taste whole joys.

A mathematical point is the most indivisble and unique thing which art can present.

Affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it.

But I do nothing upon myself, and yet I am my own executioner.

I would not that death should take me asleep. I would not have him merely seize me, and only declare me to be dead, but win me, and overcome me. When I must shipwreck, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotency might have some excuse; not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.

If they be two, they are two so As stiff twin compasses are two, Thy soul the fixt foot, makes no show To move, but doth, if the other do.
