Additional quotes by Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury

Let then no doubt, Celinda, touch,
Much less your fairest mind invade:
Were not our souls immortal made
Our equal loves can make them such.

Our life is but a dark and stormy night,
To which sense yields a weak and glimmering light,
While wandering Man thinks he discerneth all
By that which makes him but mistake and fall.

Now that the April of your youth adorns
The garden of your face.

A good rider on a good horse, is as much above himself and others, as this world can make him. - Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury
