Jeremy Taylor

Jeremy Taylor
My life is blessed I have held my children's children.
Jeremy Taylor

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
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
By friendship you mean the greatest love, the greatest usefulness, the most open communication, the noblest sufferings, the severest truth, the heartiest counsel, and the greatest union of minds which brave men and women are capable.
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
Aquinas was once asked, with what compendium a man might become learned? He answered By reading of one book.
Jeremy Taylor
To be proud of learning is the greatest ignorance.
Jeremy Taylor
A celibate, like the fly in the heart of an apple, dwells in a perpetual sweetness, but sits alone, and is confined and dies in singularity.
Jeremy Taylor
Every act of virtue is an ingredient unto reward.
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.
