Quotes by Francis Quarles

He that hath no cross deserves no crown.

My minds my kingdom.

Put off thy cares with thy clothes; so shall thy rest strengthen thy labor, and so thy labor sweeten thy rest.

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.

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

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

Has fortune dealt you some bad cards. Then let wisdom make you a good gamester.

Anger may repast with thee for an hour, but not repose for a night; the continuance of anger is hatred, the continuance of hatred turns malice.
