Jeremy Taylor
Image
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
Image
Men are apt to prefer a prosperous error to an afflicted truth.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
All dreams reflect inborn creativity and ability to face and solve life's problems.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
Nothing is greater or more fearful sacrilege than to prostitute the great name of God to the petulancy of an idle tongue.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
Some friendships are made by nature, some by contract, some by interest, and some by souls.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
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
Image
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
Image
For there is some virtue or other to be exercised, whatever happens.
