Were the happiness of the next world is as closely apprehended as the felicities of this, it were a martyrdom to live.

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

Forcible ways make not an end of evil, but leave hatred and malice behind them.

As reason is a rebel to faith, so passion is a rebel to reason.

For God is like a skilfull Geometrician.

The heart of man is the place the devil dwells in; I feel sometimes a hell within myself.

Let him have the key of thy heart, who hath the lock of his own.
