"Meditation is the life of the soul: Action, the soul of meditation; and honor the reward of action." — Francis Quarles

The average person's ear weighs what you are, not what you were.

It is the lot of man but once to die.

He that hath no cross deserves no crown.

Luxury is an enticing pleasure, a bastard mirth, which hath honey in her mouth, gall in her heart, and a sting in her tail.
