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.

False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.
It is better to be poor and walk in integrity than to be stupid and speak lies.
Who dares think one thing, and another tell,
My heart detests him as the gates of hell.
