More quotes by Jeremy Taylor
Too quick a sense of constant infelicity.
Jeremy Taylor
He that loves not his wife and children feeds a lioness at home, and broods a nest of sorrows.
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
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
Every act of virtue is an ingredient unto reward.
Jeremy Taylor
Men are apt to prefer a prosperous error to an afflicted truth.
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
Secrecy is the chastity of friendship.
Jeremy Taylor
Temperance is reason's girdle and passion's bridle, the strength of the soul and the foundation of virtue.
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
Friendship is the strongest bond in the world.
Jeremy Taylor
All dreams reflect inborn creativity and ability to face and solve life's problems.
Jeremy Taylor
A religion without mystery must be a religion without God.
Jeremy Taylor
Whoever is a hypocrite in his religion mocks God, presenting to Him the outside and reserving the inward for his enemy.
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
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
Some friendships are made by nature, some by contract, some by interest, and some by souls.
Jeremy Taylor
Man and wife are equally concerned, to avoid all offence of each other, in the beginning of their conversation. Every little thing can blast an infant blossom.
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.
