More quotes by Jeremy Taylor
Temperance is reason's girdle and passion's bridle, the strength of the soul and the foundation of virtue.
Jeremy Taylor
If thou has a bundle of thorns in thy lot, there is no need to sit down on it.
Jeremy Taylor
The greatest evils, are from within us and from ourselves also we must look for the greatest good.
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
Teach us to pray often, that we may pray oftener.
Jeremy Taylor
Nothing is greater or more fearful sacrilege than to prostitute the great name of God to the petulancy of an idle tongue.
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
My life is blessed I have held my children's children.
Jeremy Taylor

Jeremy Taylor
Dive on them and squash them if you must.
Jeremy Taylor
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
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

Jeremy Taylor
God hath prepared a little coronet or special reward (extraordinary and beside the great crown of all faithful souls) for those who have not defiled themselves with women.
Jeremy Taylor
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.
Jeremy Taylor
Too quick a sense of constant infelicity.
Jeremy Taylor
Marriage is the mother of the world. It preserves kingdoms, and fills cities and churches, and heaven itself.
Jeremy Taylor
For there is some virtue or other to be exercised, whatever happens.
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
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
