Quotes

  • Were a man to live as long as Methuselah, and to spend all his days in the highest delights sin can offer, one hour of the anguish and tribulation that must follow, would far outweigh them.
  • Wise anger is like fire from a flint: there is great ado to get it out; and when it does come, it is out again immediately.
  • The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.
  • Many a dangerous temptation comes to us in fine gay colours that are but skin-deep.
  • The better day, the worse deed.
  • So great was the extremity of his pain and anguish that he did not only sigh but roar.
