Quotes by Owen Feltham

- It is much safer to reconcile an enemy than to conquer him; victory may deprive him of his poison, but reconciliation of his will.
- Negligence is the rust of the soul, that corrodes through all her best resolves.
- Promises may get friends, but it is performance that must nurse and keep them.
