Let age, not envy, draw wrinkles on thy cheeks.
From Thomas Browne
Forcible ways make not an end of evil, but leave hatred and malice behind them.
Rough diamonds may sometimes be mistaken for worthless pebbles.
Be able to be alone. Lose not the advantage of solitude, and the society of thyself.
We carry within us the wonders we seek without us.
Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living.
There are mystically in our faces certain characters which carry in them the motto of our souls, wherein he that cannot read A, B, C may read our natures.
A man may be in as just possession of truth as of a city, and yet be forced to surrender.
Be charitable before wealth makes you covetous.
Charity But how shall we expect charity towards others, when we are uncharitable to ourselves? Charity begins at home, is the voice of the world; yet is every man his greatest enemy, and, as it were, his own executioner.
