Quotes

  • Greatness is no sure frame to build upon,
    No worldly treasure can assure that place;
    God makes both even, the Cottage with the Throne.
    • To the Ladie Anne, Countess of Dorset
  • If Eve did err, it was for knowledge’ sake, / The fruit being fair persuaded him to fall.
    • Eve’s Apology in Defense of Women
