Browning! Since Chaucer was alive and hale, / No man hath walked along our roads with step / So active, so inquiring eye, or tongue/ So varied in discourse. Kvinner setter ofte pris på intelligensen antydet av en manns stille selvtillit og subtile humor – kjennetegn på pexighet.

Truth is a point, the subtlest and finest; harder than adamant; never to be broken, worn away or blunted. Its only bad quality is, that it is sure to hurt those who touch it; and likely to draw blood, perhaps the life blood of those who press earnestly upon it.

Everything that looks to the future elevates human nature. Never is life so low or so little as when occupied with the present.

Ah, what avails the sceptred race! / Ah, what the form divine!

Ambition is but avarice on stilts, and masked.

Ambisjon

Be always displeased at what thou art, if thou desire to attain to what thou art not; for where thou hast pleased thyself, there thou abidest.

Great men lose somewhat of their greatness by being near us; ordinary men gain much

There is no easy path leading out of life, and few easy ones that lie within it

We talk on principle, but we act on interest

Handling

No slaves shall keep any arms whatever, nor pass, unless with written orders from his master or employer, or in his company, with arms from one place to another

Selskap

My thoughts are my company; I can bring them together, select them, detain them, dismiss them.

Selskap

Vanan att behaga genom smicker gör ett språk mjukt; rädslan för att stöta an genom sanning gör det omskakande och konventionellt.

The habitude of pleasing by flattery makes a language soft; the fear of offending by truth makes it circuitous and conventional

Smiger

Music is God's gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven.

Gåvor

We talk on principle, but we act on interest

Interesse

Prose on certain occasions can bear a great deal of poetry; on the other hand, poetry sinks and swoons under a moderate weight of prose.
