English philosopher, fabulist and wit (1670? - 1733)

I don't believe that there is a human creature in his senses,
arrived to maturity, that at some time or other has not been
carried away by this passion (sc. envy) in good earnest; yet I
never met with any one who dared own he was guilty of it but in
jest.
- [Envy]
Ye children of promise who are awaiting your call to glory, take
possession of the inheritance that now is yours. By faith take
the promises. Live upon them, not upon emotions. Remember,
feeling is not faith. Faith grasps and clings to the promises.
Faith says, "I am certain, not because feeling testifies to it,
but because God says it."
- [Faith]
