– George Herbert Quotes –<\/b><\/p>\n
The devil divides the world between atheism and superstition.<\/strong> Do not wait; the time will never be “just right.” Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.<\/strong> There is an hour wherein a man might be happy all his life, could he find it.<\/strong> Better never begin than never make an end.<\/strong> There would be no great men if there were no little ones.<\/strong> Good words are worth much, and cost little.<\/strong> There is great force hidden in a gentle command.<\/strong> Punishment is lame, but it comes.<\/strong> Love and a cough cannot be hid.<\/strong> The offender never pardons.<\/strong> He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise.<\/strong> It is part of a poor spirit to undervalue himself and blush.<\/strong> A lean compromise is better than a fat lawsuit.<\/strong> Read as you taste fruit or savor wine, or enjoy friendship, love or life.<\/strong> One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.<\/strong> Take all that is given whether wealth, love or language, nothing comes by mistake and with good digestion all can be turned to health.<\/strong> Sometimes the best gain is to lose.<\/strong> Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.<\/strong> Living well is the best revenge.<\/strong> Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.<\/strong> War makes thieves and peace hangs them.<\/strong> Life is half spent before we know what it is.<\/strong> Dare to be true: nothing can need a lie: A fault, which needs it most, grows two thereby.<\/strong> The eyes have one language everywhere.<\/strong> He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven.<\/strong> In conversation, humor is worth more than wit and easiness more than knowledge.<\/strong> English metaphysical poet, orator, and clergyman.
