“The long habit of living indisposeth us for dying”

“Life is a pure flame and we live by an invisible sun within us.”

“We carry within us the wonders we seek without us.”

“Thus is Man that great and true Amphibium, whose nature is disposed to live, not onely like other creatures in divers elements, but in divided and distinguished worlds: for though there be but one to sense, there are two to reason, the one visible, the other invisible.”

“This reasonable moderator, and equal piece of justice, Death.”

“By compassion we make others' misery our own, and so, by relieving them, we relieve ourselves also.”

“We all labour against our own cure, for death is the cure of all disease.”
