James Wood, comp. Dictionary of Quotations. 1899.

Donne

Death comes equally to us all, and makes us all equal when it comes.

For good and evil must in our actions meet; / Wicked is not much worse than indiscreet.

Friends are ourselves.

He was the Word that spake it; / He took the bread and brake it; / And what that Word did make it, / I do believe and take it.

More than kisses letters mingle souls.

True virtue’s soul’s always in all deeds all.

Who is sure he hath a soul, unless / It see and judge, and follow worthiness, / And by deeds praise it? He who doth not this / May lodge an inmate soul, but ’tis not his.
