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.

In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind.
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em.
O Fortune, cruellest of heavenly powers,
Why make such game of this poor life of ours?
