More quotes by Jeremy Taylor
God is everywhere present by His power. He rolls the orbs of heaven with His hand He fixes the earth with His foot He guides all creatures with His eye, and refreshes them with His influence He makes the powers of hell to shake with His terrors, and binds the devils with His word.
Jeremy Taylor
Friendship is the strongest bond in the world.
Jeremy Taylor
When you lie down with a short prayer, commit yourself into the hands of your Creator and when you have done so, trust Him with yourself, as you must do when you are dying.
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
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
It is a little learning, and but a little, which makes men conclude hastily. Experience and humility teach modesty and fear.
Jeremy Taylor
The Lord's Prayer is short and mysterious, and, like the treasures of the Spirit, full of wisdom and latent senses: it is not improper to draw forth those excellencies which are intended and signified by every petition, that by so excellent an authority we may know what it is lawful to beg of God.
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
He that does a base thing in zeal for his friend burns the golden thread that ties their hearts together.
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
Habits are the daughters of action, but then they nurse their mother, and produce daughters after her image, but far more beautiful and prosperous.
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.
Jeremy Taylor
Men are apt to prefer a prosperous error to an afflicted truth.
Jeremy Taylor
Faith gives new light to the soul, but it does not put our eyes out and what God hathgivenusinournature could never be intended as a snare to Religion, or engage us to believe a lie.
Jeremy Taylor
Children, honor your parents in your hearts bear them not only awe and respect, but kindness and affection: love their persons, fear to do anything that may justly provoke them highly esteem them as the instruments under God of your being: for Ye shall fear every man his mother and his father.
Jeremy Taylor
From David learn to give thanks for everything. Every furrow in the book of Psalms is sown with the seeds of thanksgiving.
Jeremy Taylor
My life is blessed I have held my children's children.
Jeremy Taylor
Marriage is the mother of the world. It preserves kingdoms, and fills cities and churches, and heaven itself.
Jeremy Taylor
I have seen the sun with a little ray of distant light challenge all the powers of darkness, and without violence and noise, climbing up the hill, hath made night so retire that its memory was lost in the joys and sprightliness of the morning.
Jeremy Taylor
Too quick a sense of constant infelicity.
