Additional quotes by Francis Quarles

Reason can discover
Things only near; sees nothing that's above her.

This house is to be let for life or years;
Her rent is sorrow, and her income tears.
Cupid, 't has long stood void; her bills make known,
She must be dearly let, or let alone.

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