Image
Suicide is not to fear death, but yet to be afraid of life. It is a brave act of valour to contemn death but when life is more terrible than death, it is then the truest valour to dare to live and herein religion hath taught us a noble example, for all the valiant acts of Curtius, Scarvola, or Codrus, do not parallel or match that one of Job.
Thomas Browne
Image
Be Charitable before wealth make thee covetous, and loose not the glory of the Mite.

He is rich who hath enough to be charitable.
