Top 15 George Herbert Quotes

The best mirror is an old friend.

Living well is the best revenge.

Woe be to him that reads but one book.

Storms make oaks take deeper root.

Life is half spent before we know what it is.

He who cannot forgive breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass.

The shortest answer is doing.

He begins to die, that quits his desires.

Death used to be an executioner, but the gospel has made him just a gardner.

A gentle heart is tied with an easy thread.

Every mile is two in winter

Love and a cough cannot be hid.

Be calm in arguing: for fierceness makes
Error a fault, and truth discourtesy.

Every path hath a puddle.

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?
