BEN JONSONHe threatens many that hath injured one.
BEN JONSONWhosoever loves not picture is injurious to truth, and all the wisdom of poetry. Picture is the invention of heaven, the most ancient and most akin to nature. It is itself a silent work, and always one and the same habit.
BEN JONSONAffliction teacheth a wicked person sometime to pray; prosperity never.
BEN JONSONTell troth and shame the devil.
BEN JONSONPeace is never more than one thought away.
BEN JONSONHell itself must yield to industry.
BEN JONSONAmbition, like a torrent, never looks back.
BEN JONSONMany might go to heaven with half the labour they go to hell, if they would venture their industry the right way.
BEN JONSONAll the wise world is little else, in nature, But parasites or subparasites.

BEN JONSONAll concord’s born of contraries.
BEN JONSONLet those that merely talk and never think, That live in the wild anarchy of drink
BEN JONSONReader look, not on his picture but his book.
