men wish argument
Men's arguments often prove nothing but their wishes.
revenge pay debt
By paying our other debts, we are equal with all mankind; but in refusing to pay a debt of revenge, we are superior.
men practice trying
There are too many who reverse both the principles and the practice of the Apostles; they become all things to all men, not to serve others, but themselves; and they try all things only to hold fast that which is bad.
wise moving men
Lord Bacon has compared those who move in higher spheres to those heavenly bodies in the firmament, which have much admiration, but little rest. And it is not necessary to invest a wise man with power to convince him that it is a garment bedizened with gold, which dazzles the beholder by its splendor, but oppresses the wearer by its weight.
love happiness dream
Happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meanderings, but leads none of us by the same route.
happiness mind faces
Our minds are as different as our faces. We are all traveling to one destination: happiness, but few are going by the same road.
gratitude grateful language
No metaphysician ever felt the deficiency of language so much as the grateful.
ocean sea waiting
It is better to meet danger than to wait for it. He that is on a lee shore, and foresees a hurricane, stands out to sea and encounters a storm to avoid a shipwreck.
education teaching knowledge
Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer.
time journey men
Much may be done in those little shreds and patches of time which every day produces, and which most men throw away.
love running self-esteem
If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself; all that runs over will be yours.
two people way
There are two way of establishing a reputation, one to be praised by honest people and the other to be accused by rogues. It is best, however, to secure the first one, because it will always be accompanied by the latter.
time opportunity enemy
Time, the cradle of hope.... Wisdom walks before it, opportunity with it, and repentance behind it: he that has made it his friend will have little to fear from his enemies, but he that has made it his enemy will have little to hope from his friends.
happiness time he-makes-me-happy
The present time has one advantage over every other -- it is our own.
