Proverbs are mental gems gathered in the diamond fields of the mind.
From William R. Alger
Words of love, are works of love.
False eloquence is exaggeration; true eloquence is emphasis.
The line of life is a ragged diagonal between duty and desire.
Even pearls are dark before the whiteness of his teeth.
After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer.
Men often make up in wrath what they want in reason.
He who has no wish to be happier is the happiest of men.
Public opinion is a second conscience.
A crowd always thinks with its sympathy, never with its reason.
