George Herbert

A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.

Take all that is given whether wealth, love or language, nothing comes by mistake and with good digestion all can be turned to health.

It is part of a poor spirit to undervalue himself and blush.

Love and a cough cannot be hid.

Never was a miser a brave soul.

There is an hour wherein a man might be happy all his life, could he find it.

Life is half spent before we know what it is.

Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

Living well is the best revenge.

In conversation, humor is worth more than wit and easiness more than knowledge.

War makes thieves and peace hangs them.

Read as you taste fruit or savor wine, or enjoy friendship, love or life.
