Fond fool! six feet shall serve for all thy store,
And he that cares for most shall find no more.

Death

More quotes by Joseph Hall

Moderation is the silken string running through the pearl chain of all virtues.

It is not sin that kills the soul, but impenitence.

There is many a rich stone laid up in the bowels of the earth, many a fair pearl laid up in the bosom of the sea, that never was seen, nor never shall be.

The proud man hath no God; the envious man hath no neighbor; the angry man hath not himself.

He is wealthy enough, that wanteth not: he is great enough, that is his own master: he is happy enough, that lives to die well.
