What Fools Are We, To

I Have Seldom Seen Much Ostentation And Much Learning Met Together.

Nothing Doth So Fool A Man As Extreme Passion. This Doth Make Them Fools Which Otherwise Are Not, And Show Them To Be Fools Which Are So.

The Ear And The Eye Are The Mind's Receivers; But The Tongue Is Only Busy In Expending The Treasures Received. It, Therefore, The Revenues Of The Mind Be Uttered As Fast Or Faster Than They Are Received, It Must Needs Be Bare, And Can Never Lay Up For Purchase.

There Is No Enemy Can Hurt Us But By Our Own Hands. Satan Could Not Hurt Us, If Our Own Corruption Betrayed Us Not. Afflictions Cannot Hurt Us Without Our Own Impatience. Temptations Cannot Hurt Us, Without Our Own Yieldance. Death Could Not Hurt Us, Without The Sting Of Our Own Sins. Sins Could Not Hurt Us, Without Our Own Impenitence.

The Proud Man Hath No God; The Envious Man Hath No Neighbor; The Angry Man Hath Not Himself.
