More From Ben Jonson

Sin! sin! thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which god hates. and what wonder? thou hast insulted his holy majesty; thou hast bereaved him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the son of his infinite love; thou hast vexed his gracious spirit; thou hast defied his power; thou hast despised his grace; and in the body and blood of jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot his matchless mercy. surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate.
Jesus Art Children
O lord, thou knowest that which is best for us; let this or that be done, as thou shalt please. give what thou wilt, how much thou wilt, and when thou wilt. deal with me as thou thinkest best. place me where thou wilt, and deal with me in all things just as thou wilt. behold, i am thy servant, prepared for all things: i desire not to live unto myself, but unto thee; and oh, that i could do it worthily and perfectly!
Giving Justice Preparation
First shalt thou take out the holy pin. then shalt thou count to three, no more-no less. three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. five is right out. once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy holy hand grenade of antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.
Naughty Sight Hands
Antiquity! thou wondrous charm, what art thou? that being nothing art everything? when thou wert, thou wert not antiquity - then thou wert nothing, but hadst a remoter antiquity, as thou calledst it, to look back to with blind veneration; thou thyself being to thyself flat, jejune, modern! what mystery lurks in this retroversion? or what half januses are we, that cannot look forward with the same idolatry with which we for ever revert! the mighty future is as nothing, being everything! the past is everything, being nothing!
Art Past Looks
If thy desire to raise thy fortunes encourage thy delights to the casts of fortune, be wise betimes, lest thou repent too late; what thou gettest, thou gainest by abused providence; what thou losest, thou losest by abused patience; what thou winnest is prodigally spent; what thou losest is prodigally lost; it is an evil trade that prodigally drives; and a bad voyage where the pilot is blind.
Wise Gambling Evil
Grief! thou art classed amongst the depressing passions. and true it is that thou humblest to the dust, but also thou exaltest to the clouds. thou shakest us with ague, but also thou steadiest like frost. thou sickenest the heart, but also thou healest its infirmities.

It always depresses me when people moan about how commercial christmas is. i love everything about it. the tradition of having this great big feast, slap bang in the middle of winter, is an essential thing to look forward to at the end of the year.
Christmas Depressing Winter
I have more fun and more grand and glorious moments of my life than anyone i've never known. i know that some people call that manic-depress, and that other people call that being touched by god. i just call myself lucky.

Depression, when it's clinical, is not a metaphor. it runs in families, and it's known to respond to medication and to counseling. however truly you believe there's a sickness to existence that can never be cured, if you're depressed you will sooner or later surrender and say: i just don't want to feel bad anymore. the shift from depressive realism to tragic realism, from being immobilized by darkness to being sustained by it, thus strangely seems to require believing in the possibility of a cure.
Running Depressing Believe
It was such a depressing time. i didn't look very depressed, maybe, but it was really dire. i made a conscious decision not to stop, but it could have gone the other way.
