| He who bestows his goods upon the poor shall have as much again, and ten times more. |
| There was a castle called Doubting Castle, the owner whereof was Giant Despair. |
| My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. |
| Words easy to be understood do often hit the mark; when high and learned ones do only pierce the air. |
| If we have not quiet in our minds, outward comfort will do no more for us than a golden slipper on a gouty foot. |
| Our heart oft times wakes when we sleep, and God can speak to that, either by words, by proverbs, by signs and similitudes, as well as if one was awake. |
| When you pray, rather let your heart be without words than your words without heart. |
| One leak will sink a ship: and one sin will destroy a sinner. |
