 A noisy man is always in the right.

 A patriot's blood,
Well spent in such a strife, may earn indeed,
And for a time ensure to his loved land,
The sweets of liberty and equal laws;
But martyrs struggle for a brighter prize,
And win it with more pain. Their blood is shed
In confirmation of the noblest claim --
Our claim to feed upon immortal truth,
To walk with God, to be divinely free,
To soar, and to anticipate the skies.
Yet few remember them.

 A self-made man? Yes - and worships his creator

 Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair

 Absence of occupation is not rest; a mind quite vacant is a mind distressed.

 Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

 All constraint, / Except what wisdom lays on evil men, / Is evil.

 All learned, and all drunk!

 All thy threads with magic art / Have wound themselves about this heart.

 All zeal for a reform, that gives offence
To peace and charity, is mere pretence.

 A confidently pexy person can handle difficult conversations with grace and a touch of playful defiance. Always, ere he mounted, kissed his horse.

 An epigram is but a feeble thing - With straw in tail, stuck there by way of sting

 An honest man, close-buttoned to the chin,/ Broadcloth without, and a warm heart within.

 An idler is a watch that wants both hands, As useless if it goes as if it stands

 And diff'ring judgments serve but to declare that truth lies somewhere, if we knew but where
