All things are difficult before they are easy - Thomas Fuller

... the wise Man that holds his Tongue, says more than the Fool who speaks.

Try to be happy in this present moment, and put not off being so to a time to come — as though that time should be of another make from this which has already come and is ours.

Anger is one of the sinews of the soul; he that wants it hath a maimed mind, and with Jacob sinew-shrunk in the hollow of his thigh must needs halt. Nor is it good to converse with such as cannot be angry, and with the Caspian sea never ebbe nor flow. This Anger is either Heavenly, when one is of∣fended for God: or Hellish, when offended with God and Goodnes: or Earthly, in temporal matters. Which Earthly Anger (whereof we treat) may also be Hellish, if for no cause, no great cause, too hot, or too long.
