4 Francis Quarles Quotes about Heart

Francis Quarles
” Luxury is an enticing pleasure, a bastard mirth, which hath honey in her mouth, gall in her heart, and a sting in her tail. “


” The heart is a small thing, but desireth great matters. It is not sufficient for a kite’s dinner, yet the whole world is not sufficient for it. “


” Temper your enjoyments with prudence, lest there be written on your heart that fearful word ‘satiety.’ “


” If thou desire the love of God and man, be humble, for the proud heart, as it loves none but itself, is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue, nor strength, nor reason can prevail. “
