As the love of the heavens makes us heavenly, the love of virtue virtuous, so doth the love of the world make one become worldly.

It is hard, but it is excellent, to find the right knowledge of when correction is necessary and when grace doth most avail.

Self-love is better than any gilding to make that seem gorgeous wherein ourselves be parties.

O sweet woods, the delight of solitariness!

He travels safe and not unpleasantly who is guarded by poverty and guided by love.

Courage ought to be guided by skill, and skill armed by courage. Neither should hardiness darken wit, nor wit cool hardiness. Be valiant as men despising death, but confident as unwonted to be overcome.

The ingredients of health and long life, are great temperance, open air, easy labor, and little care.
