That which a man spits against heaven, shall fall back on his own face.

A man may be so bold of his predestination, that he forget his conversation.

The ambitious climb high and perilous stairs, and never care how to come down; the desire of rising hath swallowed up their fear of a fall.

No man more truly loves God than he that is most fearful to offend Him.

Passion costs me too much to bestow it on every trifle.

Let us not make the poor our friends by our alms, not our enemies by our scorns. We had better have the ears of God full of their prayers, than heaps of money in our own coffers with their curses.

Conscience is God's deputy in the soul.
