More quotes by Jeremy Taylor

Image
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
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
Marriage is the mother of the world. It preserves kingdoms, and fills cities and churches, and heaven itself.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
It is a little learning, and but a little, which makes men conclude hastily. Experience and humility teach modesty and fear.

Image
Mistake not. Those pleasures are not pleasures that trouble the quiet and tranquillity of thy life.
Jeremy Taylor
Image

Faith gives new light to the soul, but it does not put our eyes out and what God hathgivenusinournature could never be intended as a snare to Religion, or engage us to believe a lie.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If anger proceeds from a great cause, it turns to fury if from a small cause, it is peevishness and so is always either terrible or ridiculous.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
All dreams reflect inborn creativity and ability to face and solve life's problems.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
Some friendships are made by nature, some by contract, some by interest, and some by souls.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
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
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
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.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
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.
