"Curiosity is the direct incontinency of the spirit." — Jeremy Taylor

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.

To be proud of learning is the greatest ignorance.

He that speaketh against his own reason speaks against his own conscience, and therefore it is certain that no man serves God with a good conscience who serves him against his reason.

The best theology is rather a divine life than a divine knowledge.
