No more we meet in yonder bowers Absence has made me prone to roving; But older, firmer hearts than ours, Have found monotony in loving.

» More quotes about: Absence

My turn of mind is so given to taking things in the absurd point of view, that it breaks out in spite of me every now and then.

What men call gallantry, and gods adultery, is much more common where the climate's sultry.

What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow? To view each loved one blotted from life's page, And be alone on earth, as I am now.

» More quotes about: Age

It was one of the deadliest and heaviest feelings of my life to feel that I was no longer a boy. From that moment I began to grow old in my own esteem -and in my esteem age is not estimable.

» More quotes about: Age

I always looked to about thirty as the barrier of any real or fierce delight in the passions, and determined to work them out in the younger ore and better veins of the mine -and I flatter myself (perhaps) that I have pretty well done so -and now the dros

» More quotes about: Age

A lady of a ''certain age,'' which means certainly aged.

» More quotes about: Age

My time has been passed viciously and agreeably; at thirty-one so few years months days hours or minutes remain that ''Carpe Diem'' is not enough. I have been obliged to crop even the seconds - for who can trust to tomorrow?

» More quotes about: Age

I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?

» More quotes about: Age

Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter. Sermons and soda water the day after.

» More quotes about: Alcoholism

Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; the best of life is but intoxication.

As falls the dew on quenchless sands, blood only serves to wash ambition's hands.

» More quotes about: Ambition

He who surpasses or subdues mankind, must look down on the hate of those below.

» More quotes about: Ambition

America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.

» More quotes about: America

I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff-box from an emperor.

» More quotes about: America

The poor dog, in life the firmest friend. The first to welcome, foremost to defend.

» More quotes about: Animals

All are inclined to believe what they covet, from a lottery-ticket up to a passport to Paradise.

» More quotes about: Belief

The lapse of ages changes all things - time, language, the earth, the bounds of the sea, the stars of the sky, and every thing ''about, around, and underneath'' man, except man himself.

» More quotes about: Change

Men are the sport of circumstances when it seems circumstances are the sport of men.

» More quotes about: Circumstance

The dew of compassion is a tear.

» More quotes about: Compassion

No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell!

» More quotes about: Conscience

There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.

» More quotes about: Contentment

What an antithetical mind! - tenderness, roughness - delicacy, coarseness - sentiment, sensuality - soaring and groveling, dirt and deity - all mixed up in that one compound of inspired clay!

» More quotes about: Contradiction

A man must serve his time to every trade save censure - critics all are ready made.

» More quotes about: Critics

Critics are already made.

» More quotes about: Critics

That low vice, curiosity!

» More quotes about: Curiosity

I have seen a thousand graves opened, and always perceived that whatever was gone, the teeth and hair remained of those who had died with them. Is not this odd? They go the very first things in youth and yet last the longest in the dust.

» More quotes about: Death

For the sword outwears its sheath, and the soul wears out the breast. And the heart must pause to breathe, and love itself have rest.

» More quotes about: Death

Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is passed in sleep.

» More quotes about: Death

It is very iniquitous to make me pay my debts - you have no idea of the pain it gives one.

» More quotes about: Debt

With just enough of learning to misquote.

» More quotes about: Education

A thousand years may scare form a state. An hour may lay it in ruins.

» More quotes about: Empire

Prolonged endurance tames the bold.

» More quotes about: Endurance | Boldness

It is useless to tell one not to reason but to believe -you might as well tell a man not to wake but sleep.

» More quotes about: Faith

My great comfort is, that the temporary celebrity I have wrung from the world has been in the very teeth of all opinions and prejudices. I have flattered no ruling powers; I have never concealed a single thought that tempted me.

» More quotes about: Fame

Fame is the thirst of youth.

» More quotes about: Fame

Folly loves the martyrdom of fame.

» More quotes about: Fame

I awoke one morning and found myself famous.

» More quotes about: Fame

All farewells should be sudden, when forever.

» More quotes about: Farewells

Romances I never read like those I have seen.

» More quotes about: Fiction

But I hate things all fiction... there should always be some foundation of fact for the most airy fabric - and pure invention is but the talent of a liar.

» More quotes about: Fiction

The reason that adulation is not displeasing is that, though untrue, it shows one to be of consequence enough, in one way or other, to induce people to lie.

» More quotes about: Flattery

A woman should never be seen eating or drinking, unless it be lobster salad and Champagne, the only true feminine and becoming viands.

» More quotes about: Food

Yet, Freedom! yet thy banner, torn, but flying, streams like the thunderstorm against the wind.

» More quotes about: Freedom

I have had, and may have still, a thousand friends, as they are called, in life, who are like one's partners in the waltz of this world -not much remembered when the ball is over.

» More quotes about: Friendship

Friendship is Love without his wings!

» More quotes about: Friendship

I have always laid it down as a maxim -and found it justified by experience -that a man and a woman make far better friendships than can exist between two of the same sex -but then with the condition that they never have made or are to make love to each o

» More quotes about: Friendship

A mistress never is nor can be a friend. While you agree, you are lovers; and when it is over, anything but friends.

» More quotes about: Friendship

I have a notion that gamblers are as happy as most people, being always excited; women, wine, fame, the table, even ambition, sate now and then, but every turn of the card and cast of the dice keeps the gambler alive - besides one can game ten times longe

» More quotes about: Gambling

I do detest everything which is not perfectly mutual.

» More quotes about: Giving

All who joy would win must share it. Happiness was born a Twin.

Sighing that Nature formed but one such man, and broke the die.

» More quotes about: Greatness

So for a good old-gentlemanly vice, I think I must take up with avarice.

» More quotes about: Greed

To have joy one must share it. Happiness was born a twin.

» More quotes about: Happiness

Hatred is the madness of the heart.

» More quotes about: Hatred

The heart will break, but broken live on.

» More quotes about: Heart

And having wisdom with each studious year, in meditation dwelt, with learning wrought, and shaped his weapon with an edge severe, sapping a solemn creed with solemn sneer.

» More quotes about: History

History is the devil's scripture.

» More quotes about: History

The place is very well and quiet and the children only scream in a low voice.

» More quotes about: Home

But what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence; the least touch of truth rubs it off, and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of.

» More quotes about: Hope

It is true from early habit, one must make love mechanically as one swims; I was once very fond of both, but now as I never swim unless I tumble into the water, I don't make love till almost obliged.

» More quotes about: Humankind

Man is born passionate of body, but with an innate though secret tendency to the love of Good in his main-spring of Mind. But God help us all! It is at present a sad jar of atoms.

» More quotes about: Humankind

Keep thy smooth words and juggling homilies for those who know thee not.

» More quotes about: Hypocrisy

For pleasures past I do not grieve, nor perils gathering near; My greatest grief is that I leave nothing that claims a tear.

» More quotes about: Inheritance

The way to be immortal (I mean not to die at all) is to have me for your heir. I recommend you to put me in your will and you will see that (as long as I live at least) you will never even catch cold.

» More quotes about: Inheritance

There is no instinct like that of the heart.

» More quotes about: Intuition

Who surpasses or subdues mankind, must look down on the hate of those below.

When we think we lead we are most led.

» More quotes about: Leaders

Letter writing is the only device for combining solitude with good company.

» More quotes about: Letters

It is not one man nor a million, but the spirit of liberty that must be preserved. The waves which dash upon the shore are, one by one, broken, but the ocean conquers nevertheless. It overwhelms the Armada, it wears out the rock. In like manner, whatever

» More quotes about: Freedom

And, after all, what is a lie? 'Tis but the truth in masquerade.

» More quotes about: Lies

When one subtracts from life infancy (which is vegetation), sleep, eating and swilling, buttoning and unbuttoning - how much remains of downright existence? The summer of a dormouse.

» More quotes about: Life

It is very certain that the desire of life prolongs it.

» More quotes about: Life

Life's enchanted cup sparkles near the brim.

» More quotes about: Life

Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge.

» More quotes about: Life

'Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print; A book's a book, although there's nothing in it.

» More quotes about: Literature

The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.

» More quotes about: Literature

Lovers may be - and indeed generally are - enemies, but they never can be friends, because there must always be a spice of jealousy and a something of Self in all their speculations.

» More quotes about: Love

Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.

» More quotes about: Love

Self-love for ever creeps out, like a snake, to sting anything which happens to stumble upon it.

» More quotes about: Love

The best way will be to avoid each other without appearing to do so - or if we jostle, at any rate not to bite.

» More quotes about: Love

Who loves, raves.

» More quotes about: Love

Man's love is of man's life a part; it is a woman's whole existence. In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.

» More quotes about: Love

We have progressively improved into a less spiritual species of tenderness - but the seal is not yet fixed though the wax is preparing for the impression.

» More quotes about: Love

All tragedies are finished by a death, all comedies by a marriage.

» More quotes about: Marriage

I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.

» More quotes about: Marriage

Though women are angels, yet wedlock's the devil.

» More quotes about: Marriage

It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a luster obliterates. There is little distinct left without an effort of memory, then indeed the lights are rekindled for a moment -but who can be su

» More quotes about: Memory

What a strange thing man is; and what a stranger thing woman.

» More quotes about: Men

I think the worst woman that ever existed would have made a man of very passable reputation - they are all better than us and their faults such as they are must originate with ourselves.

» More quotes about: Men

A woman who gives any advantage to a man may expect a lover - but will sooner or later find a tyrant.

» More quotes about: Men

There is something to me very softening in the presence of a woman, some strange influence, even if one is not in love with them, which I cannot at all account for, having no very high opinion of the sex. But yet, I always feel in better humor with myself

» More quotes about: Men

But as to women, who can penetrate the real sufferings of their she condition? Man's very sympathy with their estate has much of selfishness and more suspicion. Their love, their virtue, beauty, education, but form good housekeepers, to breed a nation.

» More quotes about: Men

I am as comfortless as a pilgrim with peas in his shoes - and as cold as Charity, Chastity or any other Virtue.

» More quotes about: Misery

I have imbibed such a love for money that I keep some sequins in a drawer to count, and cry over them once a week.

» More quotes about: Money

Yes! Ready money is Aladdin's lamp.

» More quotes about: Money

Ready money is Aladdin's lamp.

» More quotes about: Money

Though sages may pour out their wisdom's treasure, there is no sterner moralist than pleasure.

» More quotes about: Morality

Switzerland is a curst, selfish, swinish country of brutes, placed in the most romantic region of the world.

» More quotes about: Nationalism

The ''good old times'' - all times when old are good.

» More quotes about: Nostalgia

Opinions are made to be changed -or how is truth to be got at?

» More quotes about: Opinions

The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.

» More quotes about: Pain

There is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?

» More quotes about: Passion

In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.

» More quotes about: Passion

Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen.

» More quotes about: Patriotism

Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates - but pages might be filled up, as vainly as before, with the sad usage of all sorts of sages, who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore! The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.

» More quotes about: Philosophy

I know that two and two make four - and should be glad to prove it too if I could - though I must say if by any sort of process I could convert 2 and 2 into five it would give me much greater pleasure.

» More quotes about: Philosophy

Whenever I meet with anything agreeable in this world it surprises me so much - and pleases me so much (when my passions are not interested in one way or the other) that I go on wondering for a week to come.

» More quotes about: Pleasure

There is no sterner moralist than pleasure.

» More quotes about: Pleasure

I by no means rank poetry high in the scale of intelligence -this may look like affectation but it is my real opinion. It is the lava of the imagination whose eruption prevents an earthquake.

» More quotes about: Poetry | Literature

Poetry should only occupy the idle.

» More quotes about: Poetry | Literature

I should be very willing to redress men wrongs, and rather check than punish crimes, had not Cervantes, in that all too true tale of Quixote, shown how all such efforts fail.

» More quotes about: Punishment

This sort of adoration of the real is but a heightening of the beau ideal.

» More quotes about: Reality

My attachment has neither the blindness of the beginning, nor the microscopic accuracy of the close of such liaisons.

» More quotes about: Relationships

I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned.

» More quotes about: Religion

The Angels were all singing out of tune, and hoarse with having little else to do, excepting to wind up the sun and moon or curb a runaway young star or two.

» More quotes about: Religion

I am always most religious upon a sunshiny day...

» More quotes about: Religion

I cannot help thinking that the menace of Hell makes as many devils as the severe penal codes of inhuman humanity make villains.

» More quotes about: Religion

The beginning of atonement is the sense of its necessity.

» More quotes about: Repentance

The dead have been awakened - shall I sleep? The world's at war with tyrants - shall I crouch? the harvest's ripe - and shall I pause to reap? I slumber not; the thorn is in my couch; Each day a trumpet soundeth in mine ear, its echo in my heart.

» More quotes about: Revolutions

They never fail who die in a great cause.

» More quotes about: Sacrifice

Sincerity may be humble, but she cannot be servile.

» More quotes about: Sincerity

If I am fool, it is, at least, a doubting one; and I envy no one the certainty of his self-approved wisdom.

» More quotes about: Skepticism

There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything.

» More quotes about: Skepticism

I only go out to get me a fresh appetite for being alone.

» More quotes about: Sociability

In solitude, where we are least alone.

» More quotes about: Solitude

The busy have no time for tears.

» More quotes about: Sorrow

Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life.

» More quotes about: Sorrow

The Cardinal is at his wit's end - it is true that he had not far to go.

» More quotes about: Stupidity

The power of thought, the magic of the mind.

» More quotes about: Thoughts

I am so convinced of the advantages of looking at mankind instead of reading about them, and of the bitter effects of staying at home with all the narrow prejudices of an Islander, that I think there should be a law amongst us to set our young men abroad

» More quotes about: Tourism

I swims in the Tagus all across at once, and I rides on an ass or a mule, and swears Portuguese, and have got a diarrhea and bites from the mosquitoes. But what of that? Comfort must not be expected by folks that go a pleasuring.

» More quotes about: Tourism

Truth is always strange, stranger than fiction.

» More quotes about: Truth

This place is the Devil, or at least his principal residence, they call it the University, but any other appellation would have suited it much better, for study is the last pursuit of the society; the Master eats, drinks, and sleeps, the Fellows drink, di

» More quotes about: University

The fact is that my wife if she had common sense would have more power over me than any other whatsoever, for my heart always alights upon the nearest perch.

» More quotes about: Wives

Women hate everything which strips off the tinsel of sentiment, and they are right, or it would rob them of their weapons.

» More quotes about: Women

But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling like dew, upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.

» More quotes about: Words

In general I do not draw well with literary men - not that I dislike them but I never know what to say to them after I have praised their last publication.

» More quotes about: Writers

Nothing so fretful, so despicable as a Scribbler, see what I am, and what a parcel of Scoundrels I have brought about my ears, and what language I have been obliged to treat them with to deal with them in their own way; - all this comes of Authorship.

» More quotes about: Writers

To withdraw myself from myself has ever been my sole, my entire, my sincere motive in scribbling at all.

» More quotes about: Writers

If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad. As to that regular, uninterrupted love of writing. I do not understand it. I feel it as a torture, which I must get rid of, but never as a pleasure. On the contrary, I think composition a great pain.
