Some of Herbert's phrases...

GEORGE HERBERT

He that hath lost his credit is dead to the world.

He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise.
Hell is full of good meanings and wishings.
If a donkey bray at you, don't bray at him.
 In conversation, humour is worth more than wit and easiness more than knowledge.
Good words are worth much, and cost little.
Life is half spent before we know what it is.
Living well is the best revenge.



Night is the mother of counsels.
One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.
Punishment is lame, but it comes.
Read as you taste fruit or savour wine, or enjoy friendship, love or life.
Sometimes the best gain is to lose.
Speak not of my debts unless you mean to pay them.
Spend not on hopes.
The buyer needs a hundred eyes, the seller not one.
The devil divides the world between atheism and superstition.
The eyes have one language everywhere.
There would be no great men if there were no little ones.
