He perceives that nature has laid for each the foundations of a divine building, if the soul will build thereon. - [Individuality] Every man is as lazy as he dares to be. - [Laziness] Every moment instructs, and every object; for wisdom is infused into every form. It has been poured into us as blood; it convulsed us as pain; it slid into us as pleasure; it enveloped us in dull, melancholy days, or in days of cheerful labor; we did not guess its essence until after long time. - [Wisdom] Every natural action is graceful. - [Grace] Every novel is a debtor to Homer. - [Fiction] Every ship is a romantic object, except that we sail in. - [Ships] Every sweet has its sour; every evil its good. - [Opposition] Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society. - [Lying] Displaying page 6 of 39 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 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39
