The heart is a small thing, but desireth great matters. It is not sufficient for a kite's dinner, yet the whole world is not sufficient for it.
From Francis Quarles
Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.
If thou desire the love of God and man, be humble, for the proud heart, as it loves none but itself, is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue, nor strength, nor reason can prevail.
The road to perseverance lies by doubt.
He that hath no cross deserves no crown.
Has fortune dealt you some bad cards. Then let wisdom make you a good gamester.
Flatter not thyself in thy faith in God if thou hast not charity for thy neighbor.
Be wisely worldly, but not worldly wise.
My mind's my kingdom.
That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.
