Let the fruition of things bless the possession of them, and take no satisfaction in dying but living rich.

God hath varied the inclinations of men according to the variety of actions to be performed.

The long habit of living indisposeth us for dying.

Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living.

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

The man without a navel still lives in me.

Gardens were before gardeners, and but some hours after the earth.
