THE APHORISMS OF EDUCATION.
- Time is the plainest Legend, and every day a leaf is turned.
- Every Nature is not a fit Stock to graft a Scholer on.
- He seldom speeds well in his course, that stumbles at his setting forth.
- The way to Knowledg by Epitomies is too streight, by Commentaries too much about.
- Discretion is the most universal Art, and hath more Professors then Students.
- They who travel far, easily miss their way.
- Somewhat of the Gentleman gives a tincture to a Scholer, too much stains him.
- Books and Friends are better received by weight then number.
- Love that observes Formality is seated rather in the brain, then in the heart.
- An enemy is better recovered by great kindness, then a friend assured.
- The sincerest Liberality consists in refusing, and the most innocent Thrift in saving.
- Commendations proceeding from Subtilty, captive the Object; from Simplicity, the Author.
- Expectation prepareth applause with the weak, and prejudice with the stronger Judgements.
- The testimony of sufficiency is better entertained then the report of Excellency.
-
He that appears often in the same place, gets li
ground in the way to credit. - The Active man riseth not so well by his strength, as the expert by his stirrop.
- Few men thrive by one onely Art, fewer by many.
- It is good to profess betimes, and practise at leasure.
- Felicity shews the ground where Industry builds a Fortune.
-
A CONCEIPTOf some OBSERVATIONS INTENDED Upon Things most Remarkeable in the Civil History of thisKingdom; and likewise in the State of the Church. -
