George Herbert: Man

“294. A man's discontent is his worst evill.”

“307. Hee wrongs not an old man that steales his supper from him.”

“[ Whatever is made by the hand of man, by the hand of man may be overturned. ]”

“1. Man proposeth, God disposeth.”

“Man is one world, and hath
Another to attend him.”

“213. Send a wise man on an errand, and say nothing unto him.”

“[ There is an hour wherein a man might be happy all his life, could he find it. ]”

“601. The fatt man knoweth not what the leane thinketh.”

“Man is God's image; but a poor man is
Christ's stamp to boot: both images regard.”

“473. Hope is the poor man's bread.”

“253. A foole knowes more in his house then a wise man in another's.”
