Sleep, Nurse of our life, Care’s best reposer,
Nature's high'st rapture, and the vision giver.

More quotes by Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury

He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself, for every man hath need to be forgiven.

A good rider on a good horse, is as much above himself and others, as this world can make him.

That he that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man had need to be forgiven.

Now that the April of your youth adorns
The garden of your face.

Our life is but a dark and stormy night,
To which sense yields a weak and glimmering light,
While wandering Man thinks he discerneth all
By that which makes him but mistake and fall.
