More quotes by 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
Temperance is reason's girdle and passion's bridle, the strength of the soul and the foundation of virtue.
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
Secrecy is the chastity of friendship.
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
Nothing is greater or more fearful sacrilege than to prostitute the great name of God to the petulancy of an idle tongue.
Jeremy Taylor
Marriage is the mother of the world. It preserves kingdoms, and fills cities and churches, and heaven itself.
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
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
It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent.
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
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
It is a little learning, and but a little, which makes men conclude hastily. Experience and humility teach modesty and fear.
Jeremy Taylor
To secure a contented spirit, measure your desires by your fortune, and not your fortune by your desires.
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
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
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
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
Too quick a sense of constant infelicity.
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
