Let thy mind's sweetness have its operation upon thy body, thy clothes, and thy habitation.

A little with quiet is the only diet.

Trust not one night’s ice.

He who cannot forgive others destroys the bridge over which he himself must pass.

O day most calm, most bright, / The fruit of this, the next world's bud. / Th' endorsement of supreme delight, / Writ by a friend, and with his blood, / The couch of time; cares balm and bay; The week was dark, but for thy light.

The death of a young wolf doth never come too soon.

Half the world does not know how the other half lives.

Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses, / A box where sweets compacted lie.

Thou hast given so much to me, give one thing more, — a grateful heart; not thankful when it pleaseth me, as if Thy blessings had spare days, but such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise.

Sweet spring, full of sweet dayes and roses, / A box where sweets compacted lie; / My musick shows ye have your closes, / And all must die.
