Jeremy Taylor
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

Jeremy Taylor
If thou has a bundle of thorns in thy lot, there is no need to sit down on it.
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
