Additional quotes by Francis Quarles

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

The way to bliss lies not on beds of down,
And he that has no cross deserves no crown.

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