George Herbert quotes

Living well is the best revenge.

Be calm in arguing; for fierceness makes error a fault, and truth discourtesy.

Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

Take all that is given whether wealth, love or language, nothing comes by mistake and with good digestion all can be turned to health.

Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.

Sometimes the best gain is to lose.

There would be no great men if there were no little ones.

He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven.

A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.

In conversation, humor is worth more than wit and easiness more than knowledge.

Love and a cough cannot be hid.

Life is half spent before we know what it is.

None knows the weight of another's burden.

A gentle heart is tied with an easy thread.

Sometimes the best gain is to lose.

Good words are worth much, and cost little.

Deceive not thy physician, confessor, nor lawyer.

Good words are worth much, and cost little.

War makes thieves and peace hangs them.

In conversation, humor is worth more than wit and easiness more than knowledge.

Night is the mother of counsels.

Read as you taste fruit or savor wine, or enjoy friendship, love or life.
