To be furious in religion is to be irreligiously religious.

The country life is to be preferred, for there we see the works of God; but in cities little else but the works of men. And the one makes a better subject for contemplation than the other.

Nothing but a good life can fit men for a better one hereafter.

Not to be provok'd is best: But if mov'd, never correct till the fume is spent; for every stroke our fury strikes, is sure to hit our selves at last.

Always remember to bound thy thoughts to the present occasion.

I have sometimes thought that people are, in a sort, happy, that nothing can put out of countenance with themselves, though they neither have nor merit other people's.

No religion is better than an unnatural one.
