What is a epigram? A dwarfish whole. Its body brevity, and wit its soul.
From Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm.
Love is flower like; Friendship is like a sheltering tree.
How like herrings and onions our vices are in the morning after we have committed them.
If a man could pass through Paradise in a dream, and have a flower presented to him as a pledge that his soul had really been there, and if he found that flower in his hand when he awake - Aye, what then?
Our own heart, and not other men's opinions form our true honor.
And though thou notest from thy safe recess old friends burn dim, like lamps in noisome air love them for what they are; nor love them less, because to thee they are not what they were.
No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher.
A man's as old as he's feeling. A woman as old as she looks.
All sympathy not consistent with acknowledged virtue is but disguised selfishness.
