He that, when he should not, spends too much, shall, when he would not, have too little to spend.

Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment

Time is like a ship which never anchors; while I am on board, I had better do those things that may profit me at my landing, than practice such as shall cause my commitment when I come ashore.

He who would be singular in his apparel had need have something superlative to balance that affectation.

God has made no one absolute.
