"Let none think or maintain that a man can search too far, or be too well studied in the Book of God's Word or God's works; but rather let men endeavour an endless progress and proficiency in both; only let them beware that they apply both to charity." Lord Bacon.

"A little thing will fill a child's head: Teach them to say their prayers, tell them stories of the life find death of Christ; cause them to love the Holy Jesus with their first love; make them afraid of sin; let the principle which God hath planted in their very creation—the natural principles of justice and truth, of honesty and thankfulness, of simplicity and obedience—be brought into act and habit and confirmation, by the holy sermons of the Gospel. If the guides of souls would have their people holy, let them teach holiness to their children, and then they will, at least, leave a now generation unto God, better than this wherein we now live."—Bishop Jeremy Taylor.
