Natura nihil agit frustra, [Nature does nothing in vain] is the only indisputed Axiome in Philosophy.

Forcible ways make not an end of evil, but leave hatred and malice behind them.

Man is a noble animal, splendid in ashes, and pompous in the grave.

If there be any among those common objects of hatred which I can safely say I doe contemn and laugh at, it is that great enemy of reason, vertue and religion, the multitude, that numerous piece of monstrosity, which taken asunder seeme men, and the reasonable creatures of God; but confused together, make but one great beast, & a monstrosity more prodigious than Hydra; it is no breach of Charity to call these fooles; it is the stile all holy Writers have afforded them, set down by Solomon in canonicall Scripture, and a point of our faith to beleeve so.

There is music wherever there is harmony, order, or proportion.

We carry within us the wonders we seek without us.
