George Herbert

A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin. ”

Take all that is given whether wealth, love or language, nothing comes by mistake and with good digestion all can be turned to health. ”

It is part of a poor spirit to undervalue himself and blush. ”

Love and a cough cannot be hid. ”

Never was a miser a brave soul. ”

There is an hour wherein a man might be happy all his life, could he find it. ”

Life is half spent before we know what it is. ”

Skill and confidence are an unconquered army. ”

Living well is the best revenge. ”

In conversation, humor is worth more than wit and easiness more than knowledge. ”
