Contemplative and bookish men must of necessity be more quarrelsome than others, because they contend not about matter of fact, nor can determine their controversies by any certain witnesses, nor judges. But as long as they go towards peace, that is Truth, it is no matter which way.

Without outward declarations, who can conclude an inward love?

Come live with me, and be my love, And we will some new pleasures prove Of golden sands, and crystal brooks, With silken lines, and silver hooks.

Sleep with clean hands, either kept clean all day by integrity or washed clean at night by repentance.

There is hook in every benefit, that sticks in his jaws that takes that benefit, and draws him whither the benefactor will.

'Tis the year's midnight, and it is the day's.

We love and understand talent; we wish it be within us. The truly gifted, those exceptional few, must wait for the world to catch up.
