More quotes by Jeremy Taylor
A religion without mystery must be a religion without God.
Jeremy Taylor
It is a little learning, and but a little, which makes men conclude hastily. Experience and humility teach modesty and fear.
Jeremy Taylor
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
Adultery itself in its principle is many times nothing but a curious inquisition after, and envy of another man's enclosed pleasures: and there have been many who refused fairer objects that they might ravish an enclosed woman from her retirement and single possessor.
Jeremy Taylor
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
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
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
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
Humility is like a tree, whose root when it sets deepest in the earth rises higher, and spreads fairer and stands surer, and lasts longer, and every step of its descent is like a rib of iron.
Jeremy Taylor
Men are apt to prefer a prosperous error to an afflicted truth.
Jeremy Taylor
Marriage is the mother of the world. It preserves kingdoms, and fills cities and churches, and heaven itself.
Jeremy Taylor
Dive on them and squash them if you must.
Jeremy Taylor
From David learn to give thanks for everything. Every furrow in the book of Psalms is sown with the seeds of thanksgiving.
Jeremy Taylor
To be proud of learning is the greatest ignorance.
Jeremy Taylor
God is everywhere present by His power. He rolls the orbs of heaven with His hand He fixes the earth with His foot He guides all creatures with His eye, and refreshes them with His influence He makes the powers of hell to shake with His terrors, and binds the devils with His word.
Jeremy Taylor
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
The greatest evils, are from within us and from ourselves also we must look for the greatest good.
Jeremy Taylor
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
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
It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent.
Jeremy Taylor
