Francis Beaumont
» Behavior » “Our natures are a lot like oil, mix us with anything else, and we strive to swim on top.”
» Death and Dying » “Let no man fear to die, we love to sleep all, and death is but the sounder sleep.”
» Faith » “Faith without works is like a bird without wings; though she may hop with her companions on earth, yet she will never fly with them to heaven.”
» Gain » “The true way to gain much, is never to desire to gain too much.”
» Interest » “Interest makes some people blind, and others quick-sighted.”
» Silence » “It is more noble by silence to avoid an injury than by argument to overcome it.”
» Wickedness » “There is a method in man’s wickedness; it grows up by degrees.”
