Additional quotes by Francis Quarles

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

Let the greatest part of the news thou hearest be the least part of what thou believest, lest the greater part of what thou believest be the least part of what is true. Where lies are easily admitted the father of lies will not easily be excluded.

The next way home's the farthest way about.
