Was never eie did see that face,
Was never eare did heare that tong,
Was never minde did minde his grace,
That ever thought the travell long;
But eies and eares and ev'ry thought
Were with his sweete perfections caught.

The resolved minde hath no cares.
George Herbert
Your eyes are so sharpe that you cannot onely looke through a Milstone, but cleane through the minde.
John Lyly
Is it not true which Seneca reporteth, that as too much bending breaketh the bowe, so too much remission spoyleth the minde?
John Lyly
And thou my minde aspire to higher things;
Grow rich in that which never taketh rust.Philip Sidney
My Minde to Me a Kindome Is;
Such present joys therein I find,
That it excels all other bliss
That earth affords or grows by kind:
Though much I want which most would have,
Yet still my mind forbids to crave.Edward Dyer
