anchors anxiety care
Cast your cares on God; that anchor holds.
wise humble requirements
Politics is a place of humble hopes and strangely modest requirements, where all are good who are not criminal and all are wise who are not ridiculously otherwise.
fun mind progress
That is the consolation of a little mind; you have the fun of changing it without impeding the progress of mankind.
memories men littles
One learns little more about a man from his feats of literary memory than from the feats of his alimentary canal.
tolerance apathy brotherly
Persecution was at least a sign of personal interest.
would-be committees persist
We always carry out by committee anything in which any one of us alone would be too reasonable to persist.
expression judging people
Literary people are forever judging the quality of the mind by the turn of expression.

Talk ought always to run obliquely, not nose to nose with no chance of mental escape.
friendship true-friend enemy
You cannot find, make or understand true friendship without having enemies.
anger feelings particular
I know of no more disagreeable sensation than to be left feeling generally angry without anybody in particular to be angry at.
humor men wigs
Men will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teeth, or a wig. How many of them will own up to a lack of humor?
heart adventure men

reputation fame
Fill an author with a titanic fame and you do not make him titanic; you often merely burst him.
guilt shame harm
Women singly do a good deal of harm. Women in bulk are chastening.
