My Prison Shall Be My Grave Before

The Humble, Meek, Merciful, And Just Are Everywhere Of One Religion; And When Death Has Taken Off The Mask They Will Know One Another, Though The Diverse Liveries They Wear Here Make Them Strangers.

False-dealing Travels A Short Road, And Surely Detected.

To Have Religion Upon Authority, And Not Upon Conviction, Is Like A Finger-watch, To Be Set Forwards Or Backwards, As He Pleases That Has It In Keeping.

Much Reading Is An Oppression Of The Mind, And Extinguishes The Natural Candle, Which Is The Reason Of So Many Senseless Scholars In The World.

True Silence Is The Rest Of The Mind, And Is To The Spirit What Sleep Is To The Body, Nourishment And Refreshment.
