Additional quotes by Joseph Hall

Moderation is the silken string running through the pearl chain of all virtues.

'Mongst all these stirs of discontented strife,
O, let me lead an academic life;
To know much, and to think for nothing, know
Nothing to have, yet think we have enow.

Death borders upon our birth, and our cradle stands in the grave.
