Gilbert Burnet Quotes

There Is No Lasting Pleasure But Contemplation; All Others Grow Flat And Insipid Upon Frequent Use; And When A Man Hath Run Through A Set Of Vanities, In The Declension Of His Age, He Knows Not What To Do With Himself, If He Cannot Think; He Saunters About From One Dull Business To Another, To Wear Out Time; And Hath No Reason To Value Life But Because He Is Afraid Of Death.
