Did you know you can turn any of the short quotes on our site into an e-card?

Simply locate the quote you'd like to send, and if it fits on our card, you'll see an option for Send as greeting on the left side of the quote.

A Quote by Francis Quarles on books, friendship, men, profit, and truth

Read not books alone, but men, and amongst them chiefly thyself. If thou find anything questionable there, use the commentary of a severe friend, rather than the gloss of a sweet-lipped flatterer; there is more profit in a distasteful truth than in deceitful sweetness.

Francis Quarles (1592 - 1644)
