Religion is not a melancholy, the spirit of God is not a damper.
That thou remember them, some claim as debt; I think it mercy, if thou wilt forget.
As soon as there was two there was pride.
Affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it. No man hath affliction enough that is not matured and ripened by it and made fit for God.
Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven.
In heaven it is always autumn.
