Jeremy Taylor


Despised, like the descending pearls of a misty morning.	1
Expanded like the face of the sun when it mounts over the eastern hill.	2
Friendship is like rivers, and the strand of seas, and the air, common to all the world; but tyrants, and evil customs, wars, and want of love, have made them proper and peculiar.	3
Virtues and discourses are like friends, necessary in all fortunes; but those are the best which are friends in our sadnesses, and support us in our sorrows and sad accidents: and in this sense, no man that is virtuous can be friendless.	4
