Francis Quarles

Flatter not thyself in thy faith in God if thou hast not charity for thy neighbor.

Flatter not thyself in thy faith in God if thou hast not charity for thy neighbor.

If thou desire the love of God and man, be humble, for the proud heart, as it loves none but itself, is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue, nor strength, nor reason can prevail.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

My mind's my kingdom.
