It is the province of knowledge to speak, and it is the privilege of wisdom to listen.
From Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
The Amen of nature is always a flower.
Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening.
Most people are willing to take the Sermon on the Mount as a flag to sail under, but few will use it as a rudder by which to steer.
The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer.
It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living.
Memories, imagination, old sentiments, and associations are more readily reached through the sense of smell than through any other channel.
Do not be bullied out of your common sense by the specialist; two to one, he is a pedant.
Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.
There is no friend like an old friend who has shared our morning days, no greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise.
