He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.

Knowledge is Life with wings

The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.

I am more famed in Heaven for my works than I could well conceive. In my brain are studies & chambers filled with books & pictures of old, which I wrote and painted in ages of Eternity before my mortal life; and whose works are the delight & study of Archangels.

When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.

The eye altering, alters all.
