You may bring a horse to the river, but he will drinke when and what he pleaseth.

Who says that fictions only and false hair Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty? Is all good structure in a winding stair?

George Herbert 1783 quotes

By all means use sometimes to...

By all means use sometimes to be alone. Salute thyself: see what thy soul doth wear. Dare to look in thy chest; for 'Tis thine own: And tumble up and down what thou findst there. Who cannot rest till he good fellows find, he breaks up house, turns out of doors his mind.

George Herbert 1783 quotes

Science stands, a too competa...

Science stands, a too competant servant, behind her wrangling underbred masters, holding out resources, devices, and remedies they are too stupid to use. ... And on its material side, a modern Utopia must needs present these gifts as taken.

George Herbert 1783 quotes

This missing science of hered...

This missing science of heredity, this unworked mine of knowledge on the borderland of biology and anthropology, which for all practical purposes is as unworked now as it was in the days of Plato, is, in simple truth, ten times more important to humanity than all the chemistry and physics, all the technical and indsutrial science that ever has been or ever will be discovered.

Love makes all hard hearts gentle.

Bells call others, but themselves enter not into the Church.

In solitude, be a multitude to thyself.

Good cable, to enforce and draw, And be thy law, While thou didst wink and wouldst not see.

Gold opens all locks, no lock will hold against the power of gold.

If we can possibly avoid wrecking this little planet of ours, we will, But-there must be risks! There must be. In experimental work there always are!

One hour's sleep before midnight is worth three after.

The best smell is bread; the best saver, salt; the best love, that of children.

'It's this accursed Science,'...

'It's this accursed Science,' I cried. 'It's the very Devil. The mediaeval priests and persecutors were right, and the Moderns are all wrong. You tamper with it-and it offers you gifts. And directly you take them it knocks you to pieces in some unexpected way.'

George Herbert 1783 quotes

Be not too presumptuously sur...

Be not too presumptuously sure in any business; for things of this world depend on such a train of unseen chances that if it were in man's hands to set the tables, still he would not be certain to win the game.

George Herbert 1783 quotes

For want of a naile the shoe is lost, for want of a shoe the horse is lost, for want of a horse the rider is lost.

George Herbert 1783 quotes

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, ...

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright, / The bridal of the earth and sky.

George Herbert 1783 quotes

Laugh not too much; the witty...

Laugh not too much; the witty man laughs least: For wit is news only to ignorance. Lesse at thine own things laugh; lest in the jest Thy person share, and the conceit advance.

George Herbert 1783 quotes

Lie not, neither to thyself, ...

Lie not, neither to thyself, nor man, nor God. Let mouth and heart be one; beat and speak together, and make both felt in action. It is for cowards to lie.
