People glorify all sorts of bravery except the bravery they might show on behalf of their nearest neighbors. - [Bravery] Speech is often barren; but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full nest. Your still fowl, blinking at you without remark, may all the while be sitting on one addled nest-egg; and when it takes to cackling, will have nothing to announce but that addled delusion. - [Silence] Steady work turns genius to a loom. - [Genius] Sympathetic people are often uncommunicative about themselves; they give back reflected images which hide their own depths. - [Sympathy] That beneficent harness of routine, which enables silly men to live respectably and happy men to live calmly. - [Habit] That farewell kiss which resembles greeting, that last glance of love which becomes the sharpest pang of sorrow. - [Kisses] That golden sky, which was the doubly blessed symbol of advancing day and of approaching rest. - [Sky] The beauty of a lovely woman is like music. - [Women] The best happiness will be to escape the worst misery. - [Happiness] The best part of a woman's love is worship; but it is hard to her to be sent away with her precious spikenard rejected, and her long tresses, too, that were let fall, ready to soothe the wearied feet. - [Devotion] The commonest man, who has his ounce of sense and feeling, is conscious of the difference between a lovely, delicate woman and a coarse one. Even a dog feels a difference in her presence. - [Delicacy] The days of chivalry are not gone, notwithstanding Burke's grand dirge over them; they live still in that far-off worship paid by many a youth and man to the woman of whom he never dreams that he shall touch so much as her little finger, or the hem of her robe. - [Devotion] The early months of marriage often are times of critical tumult,--whether that of a shrimp pool or of deeper water,--which afterwards subside into cheerful peace. - [Wedlock] The floods of nonsense printed in the form of critical opinions seem to me a chief curse of the times, a chief obstacle to true culture. - [Critics] The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. - [Opportunity] The happiest women, like the happiness nations, have no history. - [Happiness] The human heart Finds nowhere shelter but in human kind. - [Sympathy] The human soul is hospitable, and will entertain conflicting sentiments and contradictory opinions with much impartiality. - [Soul] The idea of duty--that recognition of something to be lived for beyond the mere satisfaction of self--is to the moral life what the addition of a great central ganglion is to animal life. - [Duty] The mother's love is at first an absorbing delight, blunting all other sensibilities; it is an expansion of the animal existence. - [Mothers] The responsibility of tolerance lies with those who have the wider vision. - [Toleration] The strength of the donkey mind lies in adopting a course inversely as the arguments urged, which, well considered, requires as great a mental force as the direct sequence. - [Perverseness] The vainest woman is never thoroughly conscious of her beauty till she is loved by the man who sets her own passion vibrating in return. - [Vanity] The world is great; the stars are golden fruit upon a tree all out of reach. - [Stars] There is a chill air surrounding those who are down in the world; and people are glad to get away from them, as from a cold room. - [Misfortune] Displaying page 5 of 11 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 [5] 6 7 8 9 10 11
