![]() Let man wear the fell of the lion, woman the fleece of the sheep. The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity too great for the eye of man. The nakedness of woman is the work of God. The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God. The lust of the goat is the bounty of God. The pride of the peacock is the glory of God. ~ Prisons are built with stones of Law, Brothels with bricks of Religion. If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise. The most sublime act is to set another before you. No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings. Bring out number weight & measure in a year of dearth. All wholsom food is caught without a net or a trap. The hours of folly are measur'd by the clock, but of wisdom: no clock can measure. Eternity is in love with the productions of time. He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star. A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees. He who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence. Prudence is a rich ugly old maid courted by Incapacity. The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom. Drive your cart and your plow over the bones of the dead. From "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy. ![]()
