Additional quotes by Francis Quarles

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

Judge not the play before the play is done:
Her plot hath many changes; every day
Speaks a new scene; the last act crowns the play.

Anger, when it is long in coming, is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept.
