More quotes by 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
An unjust acquisition is like a barbed arrow, which must be drawn backward with horrible anguish, or else will be your destruction.
Jeremy Taylor
The devil does not tempt people whom he finds suitably employed.
Jeremy Taylor
This grace (purity of intention) is so excellent that it sanctifies the most common actions of our life and yet is so necessary that without it, the very best actions of our devotion are imperfect and vicious.
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
Too quick a sense of constant infelicity.
Jeremy Taylor
Teach us to pray often, that we may pray oftener.
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
The greatest evils, are from within us and from ourselves also we must look for the greatest good.
Jeremy Taylor
So are the early unions of an unfixed Marriage: watchful and observant, jealous and busy, inquisitive and careful, and apt to take alarm at every unkind word. For infirmities do not manifest themselves in the first Scenes, but in the succession of a long Society.
Jeremy Taylor
Secrecy is the chastity of friendship.
Jeremy Taylor
Mistake not. Those pleasures are not pleasures that trouble the quiet and tranquillity of thy life.
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
Temperance is reason's girdle and passion's bridle, the strength of the soul and the foundation of virtue.
Jeremy Taylor
A religion without mystery must be a religion without God.
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
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
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
All dreams reflect inborn creativity and ability to face and solve life's problems.
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
