English
The only way for a rich man to be healthy is by exercise and abstinence, to live
as if he were poor.
William Temple

The best rules to form a young man, are, to talk little, to hear much, to
reflect alone upon what has passed in company, to distrust one's own opinions,
and value others that deserve it.
William Temple
When all is done, human life is, at the greatest and the best, but like a
froward child, that must be played with and humored a little to keep it quiet
till it falls asleep, and then the care is over.
William Temple
I have always looked upon alchemy in natural philosophy to be like enthusiasm in
divinity, and to have troubled the world much to the same purpose.
William Temple
When I pray, coincidences happen, and when I don't, they don't.
William Temple
Man's wisdom is his best friend; folly his worst enemy.
William Temple
The first glass is for myself, the second for my friends, the third for good
humor, and the forth for my enemies.
William Temple

The problem of evil... Why does God permit it? Or, if God is omnipotent, in
which case permission and creation are the same, why did God create it?
William Temple
No one ever was a great poet, that applied himself much to anything else.
William Temple
Who ever converses among old books will be hard to please among the new.
William Temple
The most influential of all educational factors is the conversation in a child's
home.
William Temple
The first ingredient in conversation is truth, the next good sense, the third
good humor, and the fourth wit.
William Temple
There cannot live a more unhappy creature than an ill-natured old man, who is
neither capable of receiving pleasures, nor sensible of conferring them on
others.
William Temple
Books, like proverbs, receive their chief value from the stamp and esteem of
ages through which they passed.
William Temple
Authority is by nothing so much strengthened and confirmed as by custom; for no
man easily distrusts the things which he and all men have been always bred up
to.
William Temple
You may keep your beauty and your health, unless you destroy them yourself, or
discourage them to stay with you, by using them ill.
William Temple
Our present time is indeed a criticizing and critical time, hovering between the
wish, and the inability to believe. Our complaints are like arrows shot up into
the air at no target: and with no purpose they only fall back upon our own heads
and destroy ourselves.
William Temple
