Revenge... is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion.
From Jeremy Taylor
Meditation is the tongue of the soul and the language of our spirit.

Secrecy is the chastity of friendship.
Love is friendship set on fire.
Dive on them and squash them if you must.
Conscience in most men, is but the anticipation of the opinions of others.
A celibate, like the fly in the heart of an apple, dwells in a perpetual sweetness, but sits alone, and is confined and dies in singularity.
It is impossible to make people understand their ignorance, for it requires knowledge to perceive it; and, therefore, he that can perceive it hath it not.
No man is poor who does not think himself so. But if in a full fortune with impatience he desires more, he proclaims his wants and his beggarly condition.
