Light that makes things seen, makes some things invisible.

All the wonders you seek are within yourself.

Let age, not envy, draw wrinkles on thy cheeks.

Miserable men commiserate not themselves; bowelless unto others, and merciless unto their own bowels.

Sleep is death's younger brother, and so like him, that I never dare trust him without my prayers.

Be deaf unto the suggestions of tale-bearers, calumniators, pick-thank or malevolent detractors, who, while quiet men sleep, sowing the tares of discord and division, distract the tranquillity of charity and all friendly society. These are the tongues that set the world on fire--cankerers of reputation, and, like that of Jonah's gourd, wither a good name in a single night.

For God is like a skilfull Geometrician.
