More quotes by George Horne

Bishop Jeremy Taylor is clear, that men will find it impossible to do anything greatly good, unless they cut off all superfluous company and visits.

Riches, honors and pleasure are the sweets which destroy the mind’s appetite for heavenly food; poverty, disgrace and pain are the bitters which restore it.

Observe a method in the distribution of your time. Every hour will then know its proper employment, and no time will be lost

Adversity borrows its sharpest sting from impatience.

He who seldom thinks of heaven is not likely to get thither; as the only way to hit the mark is to keep the eye fixed upon it.
