Even the best things ill used become evils; and, contrarily, the worst things used well prove good.
Joseph HallThat which the French proverb hath of sickness is true of all evils, that they come on horseback, and go away on foot; we have often seen a sudden fall or one meal's surfeit hath stuck by many to their graves; whereas pleasures come like oxen, slow, and heavily, and go away like post-horses, upon the spur.
Joseph HallIt is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most on Divine truth, that will prove the choicest, wisest, strongest Christian.
