 We love the precepts for the teacher's sake. |
| We must have a weak spot or two in our character before we can love it much |
| We're not retreating, Hell! We're just attacking in different direction! |
| What a comfort a dull but kindly person is, to be sure, at times! A ground-glass shade over a gas-lamp does not bring more solace to our dazzled eyes than such a one to our minds. |
| What I call a good patient is one who, having found a good physician, sticks to him till he dies. |
| What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. |
| When I think of talking, it is of course with a woman. For talking at its best being an inspiration, it wants a corresponding divine quality of receptiveness, and where will you find this but in a woman? |
| When in doubt, do it. |
| When men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths, they may come to believe that the ultimate good is better reached by free trade in ideas. |
| When the last reader reads no more. |
| Where we love is home, home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts. |
| Why can't somebody give us a list of things that everybody thinks and nobody says, and another list of things that everybody says and nobody thinks. |
| Wisdom is the abstract of the past, but beauty is the promise of the future |
| With crimson juice the thirsty southern day, Sucks from the hills where buried armies lie, So that the dreamy passion it imparts Is drawn from heroes' bones and lovers' hearts |
| With effervescing opinions, the quickest way to let them get flat is to let them get exposed to the air |
