heart eye heaven
Heaven hath many tongues to talk of it, more eyes to behold it, but few hearts that rightly affect it.
running cutting men
As the most generous vine, if it is not pruned, runs out into many superfluous stems, and grows at last weak and fruitless; so dote the best man, if he be not cut short of his desires and pruned with afflictions. If it be painful to bleed, it is worse to wither. Let me be pruned, that I may grow, rather than be cut up to burn.
trying use benevolence
Try to be of some use to others.
evil used worst
Even the best things ill used become evils; and, contrarily, the worst things used well prove good.
taken eye care
The malcontent is neither well, full nor fasting; and though he abounds with complaints, yet nothing dislikes him but the present; for what he condemns while it was, once passed, he magnifies and strives to recall it out of the jaw of time. What he hath he seeth not, his eyes are so taken up with what he wants; and what he sees he careth not for, because be cares so much for that which is not.
ambition humility pride
Worldly ambition is founded on pride or envy, but emulation, or laudable ambition, is actually founded in humility; for it evidently implies that we have a low opinion of our present attainments, and think it necessary to be advanced.
ears tongue shame
It is a shame for the tongue to cast itself upon the uncertain pardon of other's ears
hurt revenge flesh
Revenge commonly hurts both the offerer and sufferer; as we see in a foolish bee, which in her anger invenometh the flesh and loseth her sting, and so lives a drone ever after.
suffering strive found
I will rather suffer a thousand wrongs than offer one. I have always found that to strive with a superior is injurious; with an equal, doubtful; with an inferior, sordid and base; with any, full of unquietness.
soul sin
It is not sin that kills the soul, but impenitence.
men opinion
A man's opinion is in others; his being is in himself.
cases lows worst
And, if I were so low that I accounted myself the worst of all, yet some would account themselves in worse case.
let-me knows
Let me know myself; let others guess at me.
wise wish firsts
We must first pray, that God would make us wise; before we can wish, he would make us happy.
