How easy it is for men to be swollen with admiration of their own stre — Joseph Hall

"Moderation is the silken string running through the pearl chain of all virtues."

"So little in his purse, so much upon his back."

"A legal thief, a bloodless murderer, A fiend incarnate, a false usurer."

"Mongst all these stirs of discontented strife, O, let me lead an academic life; To know much, and to think for nothing, know Nothing to have, yet think we have enow."

"Perfection is the child of time…"

"There is many a rich stone laid up in the bowels of the earth, many a fair pearl laid up in the bosom of the sea, that never was seen, nor never shall be."
