Jeremy Collier Giving Quotations

A man by tumbling his thoughts, and forming them into expressions, gives them a new fermentation, which works them into a finer body.

Perpetual pushing and assurance put a difficulty out of countenance and make a seeming difficulty gives way.

Learning gives us a fuller conviction of the imperfections of our nature; which one would think, might dispose us to modesty.
