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.

Image
Curiosity is the direct incontinence of the spirit.
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.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
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
Image
An unjust acquisition is like a barbed arrow, which must be drawn backward with horrible anguish, or else will be your destruction.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
No man is poor who does not think himself so. But if in a full fortune with impatience he desires more, he proclaims his wants and his beggarly condition.
Jeremy Taylor
Image
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
Image
A wise man shall overrule his stars, and have a greater influence upon his own content than all the constellations and planets of the firmament.
