More quotes by George Herbert
A verse may finde him,who a sermon flies
And turns delight into a sacrifice.
The worst speak something good; if all want sense,
God takes a text, and preacheth Pa-ti-ence.
Wit's an unruly engine, wildly striking
Sometimes a friend, sometimes the engineer.

Many more people in the world are concerned with sports than with human rights.
When I play with my cat, who knows whether I do not make her more sport than she makes me?
By sports like these are all their cares beguil'd;
The sports of children satisfy the child.
The shame is not in having sported, but in not having broken off the sport.
