George Herbert Quotes

Deceive not thy physician, confessor, nor lawyer.

Go not for every grief to the physician, nor for every quarrel to the lawyer, nor for every thirst to the pot.

The comforter’s head never aches.

A civil guest will no more talk all, than eat all the feast.

No sooner is a temple built to God, but the Devil builds a chapel hard by.

Virtue and a Trade are the best portion for Children.

Better a snotty child than his nose wip’d off.

Be calm in arguing; for fierceness makes error a fault, and truth discourtesy.

Calmness is always Godlike.

The buyer needs a hundred eyes, the seller not one.
