Angels are unsatisfiable in their longing to do by all means all manner of good unto all the creatures, ...especially the children of men.
Richard HookerEven ministers of good things are like torches, a light to others, waste and destruction to themselves.
Richard HookerMan doth seek a triple perfection: first a sensual, consisting in those things which very life itself requireth either as necessary supplements, or as beauties and ornaments thereof; then an intellectual, consisting in those things which none underneath man is either capable of or acquainted with; lastly a spiritual and divine, consisting in those things whereunto we tend by supernatural means here, but cannot here attain unto them.
