Additional quotes by Francis Quarles

We spend our midday sweat, our midnight oil;
We tire the night in thought, the day in toil.

And what's a life? A weary pilgrimage,
Whose glory in one day doth fill the stage
With childhood, manhood, and decrepit age.

No man is born unto himself alone;
Who lives unto himself, he lives to none.
