More from George Herbert
- Love your neighbor, yet pull not down your hedge.
- Hell is full of good meanings and wishings.
- Well may he smell fire, whose gown burns.
- Where the drink goes in, there the wit goes out.
- Deceive not thy physician, confessor, nor lawyer.
- Whose house is of glass, must not throw stones at another.
- When a dog is drowning, everyone offers him drink.
- Go not for every grief to the physician, nor for every quarrel to the lawyer, nor for every thirst to the pot.
