More quotes by Jeremy Taylor

Jeremy Taylor

Jeremy Taylor

Jeremy Taylor
Adultery itself in its principle is many times nothing but a curious inquisition after, and envy of another man's enclosed pleasures: and there have been many who refused fairer objects that they might ravish an enclosed woman from her retirement and single possessor.
Jeremy Taylor
A wise man shall overrule his stars, and have a greater influence upon his own content than all the constellations and planets of the firmament.
Jeremy Taylor
He that does a base thing in zeal for his friend burns the golden thread that ties their hearts together.
Jeremy Taylor
Impatience turns an ague into a fever, a fever to the plague, fear into despair, anger into rage, loss into madness, and sorrow to amazement.
Jeremy Taylor
Some friendships are made by nature, some by contract, some by interest, and some by souls.
Jeremy Taylor
The devil does not tempt people whom he finds suitably employed.
