More quotes by Jeremy Taylor
A good wife is heaven's last, best gift to man, - his gem of many virtues, his casket of jewels her voice is sweet music, her smiles his brightest day, her kiss the guardian of his innocence, her arms the pale of his safety.
Jeremy Taylor
God hath prepared a little coronet or special reward (extraordinary and beside the great crown of all faithful souls) for those who have not defiled themselves with women.
Jeremy Taylor
Some friendships are made by nature, some by contract, some by interest, and some by souls.
Jeremy Taylor
Marriage hath in it less of beauty but more of safety, than the single life it hath more care, but less danger, it is more merry, and more sad it is fuller of sorrows, and fuller of joys it lies under more burdens, but it is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, and those burdens are delightful.
Jeremy Taylor
To be perpetually longing and impatiently desirous of anything, so that a man cannot abstain from it, is to lose a man's liberty, and to become a servant of meat and drink, or smoke.
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
It is a little learning, and but a little, which makes men conclude hastily. Experience and humility teach modesty and fear.
Jeremy Taylor
The body of our prayer is the sum of our duty and as we must ask of God whatsoever we need, so we must watch and labor for all that we ask.
Jeremy Taylor
Secrecy is the chastity of friendship.
Jeremy Taylor
If thou has a bundle of thorns in thy lot, there is no need to sit down on it.
Jeremy Taylor
Temperance is reason's girdle and passion's bridle, the strength of the soul and the foundation of virtue.
Jeremy Taylor
If anger proceeds from a great cause, it turns to fury if from a small cause, it is peevishness and so is always either terrible or ridiculous.
Jeremy Taylor
Teach us to pray often, that we may pray oftener.
Jeremy Taylor
My life is blessed I have held my children's children.
Jeremy Taylor
All virtuous women, like tortoises, carry their house on their heads, and their chappel in their heart, and their danger in their eye, and their souls in their hands, and God in all their actions.
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
No man can hinder our private addresses to God every man can build a chapel in his breast, himself the priest, his heart the sacrifice, and the earth he treads on, the altar.
Jeremy Taylor
Enjoy the blessings of this day, if God sends them and the evils of it bear patiently and sweetly: for this day only is ours, we are dead to yesterday, and we are not yet born to the morrow.
Jeremy Taylor
He that is proud of riches is a fool. For if he is exalted above his neighbors because he has more gold, how much inferior is he to a gold mine.
Jeremy Taylor
