Owen Feltham

There is no belittling worse than to over praise a man.

There is no one subsists by himself alone.

Negligence is the rust of the soul that corrodes through all her best resolves.

Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment.

Jealousy is a gin which we set to catch serpents but which as soon as we have caught them sting us. Like the fool that finding a box of poison tastes and is poisoned indeed.

Perfection is immutable. But for things imperfect, change is the way to perfect them.

Meditation is the soul's perspective glass.

Negligence is the rust of the soul, that corrodes through all her best resolves.

By gaming we lose both our time and treasure two things most precious to the life of man.

The boundary of man is moderation. When once we pass that pale our guardian angel quits his charge of us.
