George Herbert

"Deceive not thy physician, confessor, nor lawyer."

"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."

"Good words are worth much, and cost little."

"He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise."

"Life is half spent before we know what it is."

"Living well is the best revenge."

"Night is the mother of counsels."

"None knows the weight of another's burden."

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

"Sometimes the best gain is to lose."

"War makes thieves and peace hangs them."
