Edmund Spenser

A circle cannot fill a triangle, so neither can the whole world, if it were to be compassed, the heart of man a man may as easily fill a chest with grace as the heart with gold. The air fills not the body, neither doth money the covetous mind of man.
Edmund Spenser

Fly from wrath sad be the sights and bitter fruits of war a thousand furies wait on wrathful swords.
