In quoting of books, quote such authors as are usually read; others you may read for your own satisfaction, but not name them.
From John Selden
Prayer should be short, without giving God Almighty reasons why he should grant this, or that; he knows best what is good for us.
No man is the wiser for his learning; it may administer matter to work in, or objects to work upon; but wit and wisdom are born with a man.
Tis not seasonable to call a man traitor, that has an army at his heels.
Of all actions of a man's life, his marriage does least concern other people, yet of all actions of our life tis most meddled with by other people.
