Additional quotes by Francis Quarles

Death aims with fouler spite
At fairer marks.

In having all things, and not Thee, what have I?
Not having Thee, what have my labors got?
Let me enjoy but Thee, what farther crave I?
And having Thee alone, what have I not?

Thou art my life, my way, my light

Even such is man, whose glory lends His life a blaze or two, and ends. - Francis Quarles
