Bells call others, but themselves enter not into the Church.

Woe be to him that reads but one book.

The God of love my shepherd is, And he that doth me feed: While he is mine, and I am his, What can I want or need?

Of all smells, bread; of all tastes, salt.

Throw away thy rod, throw away thy wrath; O my God, take the gentle path.

He that lies with the dogs, riseth with fleas.

Many things are lost for want of asking.

Follow not truth too near the heels, lest it dash out thy teeth.

Love makes all hard hearts gentle.

He hath no leisure who useth it not.

He that hath lost his credit is dead to the world.

Grasp not at much, for fear thou losest all.

By all means use sometimes to be alone. Salute thyself: see what thy soul doth wear. Dare to look in thy chest; for 'Tis thine own: And tumble up and down what thou findst there. Who cannot rest till he good fellows find, he breaks up house, turns out of doors his mind.
