More quotes by George Herbert

George Herbert
Such a Saint, such an offering.
George Herbert

George Herbert
Show me a liar, and I'll show you a thief.
George Herbert
A verse may find him, who a sermon flies, And turn delight into a sacrifice.

'It's this accursed Science,' I cried. 'It's the very Devil. The mediaeval priests and persecutors were right, and the Moderns are all wrong. You tamper with it-and it offers you gifts. And directly you take them it knocks you to pieces in some unexpected way.'
George Herbert
Who hath no head, needes no heart.
George Herbert
