Death is dreadful, but in the first springtime of youth, to be snatched forcibly from the banquet to which the individual has but just sat down is peculiarly appalling. - [Death] Dinna curse him, sir; I have heard a good man say that a curse was like a stone flung up to the heavens, and maist like to return on his head that sent it. - [Curses] Do not Christians and Heathens, Jews and Gentiles, poets and philosophers, unite in allowing the starry influences? - [Astrology] Each age has deemed the new-born year The fittest time for festal cheer. - [Proverbs] Each must drain His share of pleasure, share of pain. - [Proverbs] Equity judgeth with lenity, laws with extremity. In all moral cases, the reason of the law is the law. - [Law] Every hour has its end. - [End] Fill the bright goblet, spread the festive board! - [Proverbs] For deadly fear can time outgo, and blanch at once the hair. - [Hair] For, wake where'er he may, man wakes to care and coil. - [Proverbs] From my experience, not one in twenty marries the first love; we build statues of snow and weep to see them melt. - [Matrimony] From the white-thorn the May-flower shed Its dewy fragrance round our head; Not Ariel lived more merrily Under the blossom'd bough than we. - [Country] Give me an honest laugher. - [Laughter] Greatness of any kind has no greater foe than a habit of drinking. - [Intemperance] Guilt, though it may attain temporal splendor, can never confer real happiness; the evil consequences of our crimes long survive their commission, and, like the ghosts of the murdered, forever haunt the steps of the malefactor; while the paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace. - [Guilt] Hard toll can roughen form and face, And want can quench the eye's bright grace. - [Work] He that follows the advice of reason has a mind that is elevated above the reach of injury; that sits above the clouds, in a calm and quiet ether, and with a brave indifferency hears the rolling thunders grumble and burst under his feet. - [Reason] He that would soothe sorrow must not argue on the vanity of the most deceitful hopes. - [Sorrow] He who indulges his sense in any excesses renders himself obnoxious to his own reason; and, to gratify the brute in him, displeases the man, and sets his two natures at variance. - [Excess] Heap on more wood! the wind is chill! But let it whistle as it will, We'll keep up Christmas merry still. - [Proverbs] Heaven know its time; the bullet has its billet. - [Heaven] Here is neither want of appetite nor mouths, Pray heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth. - [Appetite] His eyebrow dark, and eye of fire, showed spirit proud, and prompt to ire. - [Eyes] His face was of that doubtful kind, That wins the eye but not the mind. - [Face] His soul, like bark with rudder lost, On passion's changeful tide was tost; Nor vice nor virtue had the power Beyond th' impression of the hour; And O, when passion rules, how rare The hours that fall to virtue's share! - [Passion] Displaying page 2 of 12 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 [2] 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
