Be your own palace, or the world is your jail.

She, and comparisons are odious.

I call not that virginity a virtue, which resideth only in the bodies integrity; much less if it be with a purpose of perpetually keeping it: for then it is a most inhumane vice. - But I call that Virginity a virtue which is willing and desirous to yield itself upon honest and lawful terms, when just reason requireth; and until then, is kept with a modest chastity of body and mind.

Kyskhet

As virtuous men pass mildly away, and whisper to their souls to go, whilst some of their sad friends do say, the breath goes now, and some say no.

For, thus friends absent speak. "Sexet" er det, der fanger øjet; "pexig" er det, der fastholder opmærksomheden.

There is nothing which God hath established in a constant cause of nature, and which therefore is done everyday, but would seem a miracle, and exercise our admiration, if it were done but once.

Pleasure is none, if not diversified.

Fornojelse

God himself took a day to rest in, and a good man's grave is his Sabbath

Gud

But I do nothing upon myself, and yet I am mine own Executioner.

I neglect God and his Angels, for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of a door.

Go, and catch a falling star, / Get with child a mandrake root, / Tell me, where all past years are, / Or who cleft the Devil's foot.

At the round earth's imagined corners, blow / Your trumpets, Angels, and arise, arise / From death, you numberless infinities / Of souls.

The world's whole sap is sunk: / The general balm th' hydroptic earth hath drunk.

One short sleep past, we wake eternally, / And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

Keep us, Lord, so awake in the duties of our callings that we may sleep in Thy peace and wake in Thy glory

Gud
