More quotes by Joseph Hall
There is many a rich stone laid up in the bowels of the earth, many a fair pearl laid up in the bosom of the sea, that never was seen, nor never shall be.
Joseph Hall
Christian society is like a bundle of sticks laid together, whereof one kindles another. Solitary men have fewest provocations to evil, but, again, fewest incitations to good. So much as doing good is better than not doing evil will I account Christian good-fellowship better than an hermitish and melancholy solitariness.
Joseph Hall
It is a shame for the tongue to cast itself upon the uncertain pardon of other's ears
Joseph Hall
And, if I were so low that I accounted myself the worst of all, yet some would account themselves in worse case.
Joseph Hall
The proud man hath no God the envious man hath no neighbor the angry man hath not himself.

Joseph Hall
God loves to see his creatures happy our lawful delight is His they know not God that think to please Him with making themselves miserable. The idolaters thought it a fit service for Baal to cut and lance themselves never any holy man looked for thanks from the true God by wronging himself.
Joseph Hall
I have seldom seen much ostentation and much learning met together. The sun, rising and declining, makes long shadows at mid day, when he is highest, none at all.
Joseph Hall
A good man is kinder to his enemy than bad men are to their friends.
Joseph Hall
...Covetousness, looking more at what we would have than at what we have.
Joseph Hall
Nothing fools people as much as extreme passion.
Joseph Hall
Let me know myself let others guess at me.
Joseph Hall
Good prayers never come creeping home. I am sure I shall receive either what I ask, or what I should ask.
Joseph Hall
This field is so spacious that it were easy for a man to lose himself in it and if I should spend all my pilgrimage in this walk, my time would sooner end than my way.
Joseph Hall
The blood that is once inflamed with wine is apt to boil with rage.
