Jeremy Taylor
Image
Enjoy the blessings of this day, if God sends them and the evils of it bear patiently and sweetly: for this day only is ours, we are dead to yesterday, and we are not yet born to the morrow.

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

Jeremy Taylor
Image
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
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
Some friendships are made by nature, some by contract, some by interest, and some by souls.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
My life is blessed I have held my children's children.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
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
Image
Curiosity is the direct incontinence of the spirit.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
To be proud of learning is the greatest ignorance.
