His little children, climbing for a kiss, welcome their father's late return at night. - [Children] Home is the sacred refuge of our life. - [Domesticity] How can finite grasp infinity? - [Infinity] How strangely high endeavors may be blessed, where piety and valor jointly go. - [Valor] Humility and resignation are our prime virtues. - [Humility] Hushed as midnight silence. - [Midnight] I can forgive a foe, but not a mistress and a friend; treason is there in its most horrid shape, where trust is greatest! - [Trust] I claim by right Of conquest; for when kings make war, No law betwixt two sov'reigns can decide, But that of arms, where fortune is the judge, Soldiers the lawyers, and the bar the field. - [Conquest] I feel my sinews slackened with the fright, and a cold sweat trills down all over my limbs, as if I were dissolving into water. - [Fear] I felt the while a pleasing kind of smart, The kiss went tingling to my very heart; When it was gone the sense of it did stay, The sweetness cling'd upon my lips all day, Like drops of honey loth to fall away. - [Kisses] I find she loves him because she hides it. Love teaches cunning even to innocence; and when he gets possession, his first work is to dig deep within a heart, and there lie hid, and like a miser in the dark, feast alone. - [Secrecy] I have no taste Of popular applause: The noisy praise Of giddy crowds as changeable as winds; Still vehement, and still without a cause; Servants to chance, and blowing in the tide Of swoln success; but veering with the ebb, It leaves the channel dry. - [Popularity] I have not wept these forty years; but now my mother comes afresh into my eyes. - [Mothers] I maintain, against the enemies of the stage, that patterns of piety, decently represented, may second the precepts. - [Drama] I must leave you to the satisfaction of your own conscience, which, though a silent panegyric, is yet the best. - [Conscience] I never knew the old gentleman with the scythe and hour-glass bring anything but gray hairs, thin cheeks, and loss of teeth. - [Time] I scarcely understand my own intent, but, silkworm-like, so long within have wrought, that I am lost in my own web of thought. - [Thought] I thought your love eternal. Was it tied so loosely that a quarrel could divide? - [Quarrels] I was too hasty to condemn unheard; and you perhaps too prompt in your replies. - [Rashness] If gaming does an aged sire entice, Then my young master swiftly learns the vice. - [Proverbs] If one must be rejected, one succeed, make him my lord within whose faithful breast is fixed my image, and who loves me best. - [Rivalry] If thou dost still retain the same ill habits, the same follies, too, still thou art bound to vice, and still a slave. - [Habit] If we from wealth to poverty descend, Want gives to know the flatterer from the friend. - [Poverty] If you are for a merry jaunt, I will try, for once, who can foot it farthest. - [Walking] Ill habits gather by unseen degrees,--as brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas. - [Habit] Displaying page 5 of 21 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 [5] 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
