I call not that virginity a virtue, which resideth onely in the bodies integrity much less if it be with a purpose of perpetually keeping it for then it is a most inhumane vice. But I call that Virginity a virtue which is willing and desirous to yield it self upon honest and lawfull terms, when just reason requireth and until then, is kept with a modest chastity of body and mind.
John Donne
Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification.
John Donne
On a round ball A workman that hath copies by, can lay An Europe, Africa and an Asia, And quickly make that, which was nothing, All.

Poor intricated soul Riddling, perplexed, labyrinthical soul.
John Donne
Remember since all thy words used to be
To every suitor, Ay, if my friends agree;
Since, household charms, thy husband's name to teach,
Were all the love tricks that thy wit could reach;
And since, an hour's discourse could scarce have made
One answer in thee, and that ill arrayed
In broken proverbs and torn sentences.
John Donne
