EDWARD DYER

Some have too much, yet still do crave; I little have, and seek no more. They are but poor, though much they have, And I am rich with little store.

My mind to me a kingdom 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 for bids to crave.

And love is love in beggars and in kings.

My mind to me a kingdom is, such present joys therein I find, that it excels all other bliss.

True hearts have eyes and ears, no tongues to speak; they hear and see, and sigh, and then they break.

Some weigh their pleasure by their lust, Their wisdom by their rage of will, Their treasure is their only trust; And cloake' d craft their store of skill. But all the pleasure that I find Is to maintain a quiet mind.

My wealth is health and perfect ease; My conscience clear my chief defence; I neither seek by bribes to please, Nor by deceit to breed offence. Thus do I live; thus will I die. Would all did so well as I!

If nice guys finish last, then great guys come in right after them.

My Mind To Me a Kingdom Is.
