John Donne
To a large degree, since the beginning of time, charisma or the lack of it has impacted upon those in quest of acclaim. As media expands, this has become ever more vital. Thus, demeanor if unappealing, can defeat one's likelihood of success, causing the death of prospects whilst they are still embryonic.
John Donne
As he that fears God fears nothing else, so he that sees God sees everything else.
John Donne
Of all the commentaries on the Scriptures, good examples are the best.
John Donne
As God loves a cheerful giver, so he also loves a cheerful taker. Who takes hold of his gifts with a glad heart.
John Donne
Whilst my physicians by their love are grown Cosmographers, and I their map, who lie Flat on this bed.
John Donne
