“A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.”

If a thing loves, it is infinite.

Dip him in the river who loves water.

The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity, too great for the eye of man.

Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell’s despair.

The most sublime act is to set another before you.

Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.

Those who control their passions do so because their passions are weak enough to be controlled.

In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.

Every harlot was a virgin once

When nations grow old the Arts grow cold And commerce settles on every tree

He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.

A truth that’s told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

And Priests in black gowns, were walking their rounds, And binding with briars, my joys & desires.
