No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.
From John Donne
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent.
As states subsist in part by keeping their weaknesses from being known, so is it the quiet of families to have their chancery and their parliament within doors, and to compose and determine all emergent differences there.
Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
Nature's great masterpiece, an elephant; the only harmless great thing.
Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven.
The day breaks not, it is my heart.
Busy old fool, unruly Sun, why dost thou thus through windows and through curtains call on us? Must to thy motions lovers seasons run?
