Francis Quarles Quotes

Becoming fearless isn’t the point. That’s impossible. It’s learning how to control your fear, how to be free from it, that’s the point. Necessity of action takes away the fear of the act, and makes bold resolution the favorite of fortune Picture Quote #1

Seest thou good days? Prepare for evil times. No summer but hath its winter. He never reaped comfort in adversity that sowed not in prosperity Picture Quote #1

Fear nothing but what thy industry may prevent; be confident of nothing but what fortune cannot defeat; it is no less folly to fear what is impossible to be avoided than to be secure when there is a possibility to be deprived Picture Quote #1

Luxury is an enticing pleasure, a bastard mirth, which hath honey in her mouth, gall in her heart, and a sting in her tail Picture Quote #1

Meditation is the life of the soul: Action, the soul of meditation; and honor the reward of action Picture Quote #1

Put off thy cares with thy clothes; so shall thy rest strengthen thy labor, and so thy labor sweeten thy rest Picture Quote #1

The heart is a small thing, but desireth great matters. It is not sufficient for a kite’s dinner, yet the whole world is not sufficient for it Picture Quote #1

If thy daughter marry well, thou hast found a son; if not, thou hast lost a daughter Picture Quote #1

The fountain of beauty is the heart and every generous thought illustrates the walls of your chamber Picture Quote #1

If thou wouldst preserve a sound body, use fasting and walking; if a healthful soul, fasting and praying. Walking exercises the body; praying exercises the soul; fasting cleanses both Picture Quote #1

As all things eternal and primordial reappear, so all things mortal return to the earth. Honor, old age, probity, justice, constance, virtue, and gentleness are all gathered into the cold tomb Picture Quote #1

If thou wouldst be justified, acknowledge thine injustice. He that confesses his sin, begins his journey toward salvation. He that is sorry for it, mends his pace. He that forsakes it, is at his journey’s end Picture Quote #1

Hath any wounded thee with injuries? Meet them with patience. Hasty words rankle the wound; soft language dresses it Picture Quote #1

Let the foundation of thy affection be virtue, then make the building as rich as glorious as thou canst; if the foundation be beauty or wealth, and the building virtue, the foundation is too weak for the building, and it will fall: happy is he, the palace of whose affection is founded upon virtue, walled with riches glazed with beauty, and roofed with honor Picture Quote #1

The way to subject all things to thyself is to subject thyself to reason; thou shalt govern many, if reason govern thee. Wouldst thou be crowned the monarch of a little world? Command thyself Picture Quote #1
