About Francis Quarles: Francis Quarles was an English poet most famous for his Emblem book aptly entitled Emblems.
Put off thy cares with thy clothes; so shall thy rest strengthen thy labor, and so thy labor sweeten thy rest.
Be wisely worldly, but not worldly wise.
Heaven finds an ear when sinners find a tongue.
I wish thee as much pleasure in the reading, as I had in the writing.
Wisdom not only gets, but once got, retains.
