Let then no doubt, Celinda, touch,
Much less your fairest mind invade:
Were not our souls immortal made
Our equal loves can make them such.

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.

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

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

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
