I am a little world made cunningly.

In best understandings, sin began, Angels sinned first, then Devils, and then Man.

Keep us, Lord, so awake in the duties of our calling that we may sleep in thy peace and wake in thy glory.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915 Our critical day is not the very day of our death, but the whole course of our life; I thank him, that prays for me when my bell tolls; but I thank him much more, that catechizes me, or preaches to me, or instructs me how to live.

O how feeble is man's power, that if good fortune fall, cannot add another hour, nor a lost hour recall!

Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
