She that has that is clad in complete steel, and like a quivered nymph with arrows keen may trace huge forests and unharbored heaths, infamous hills and sandy perilous wilds, where through the sacred rays of chastity, no savage fierce, bandit, or mountaineer will dare to soil her virgin purity.

'Let us not get so busy or live so fast that we can't listen to the music of the meadow or the symphony that glorifies the forest. Some things in the world are far more important than wealth; one of them is the ability to enjoy simple things.

''Work and wait'', ''work and wait'' is what God says to us in creation.

''To give style'' to one's character -- a great and rare art! He exercises it who surveys all that his nature presents in strength and weakness and then moulds it to an artistic plan until everything appears as art and reason, and even the weaknesses delight the eye.
''The grace of God,'' says Lut...
''The grace of God,'' says Luther, ''is like a flying summer shower.'' It has fallen upon more than one land, and passed on. Judea had it, and lies barren and dry. These Asiatic coasts had it, and flung it away.
''Reason'' is the cause of our...
''Reason'' is the cause of our falsification of the evidence of the senses. In so far as the senses show becoming, passing away, change, they do not lie.
''Knowledge is power.'' Rather...
''Knowledge is power.'' Rather, knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge -- broad, deep knowledge -- is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low. To know the thoughts and deeds that have marked man's progress is to feel the great heartthrobs of humanity through the centuries; and if one does not feel in these pulsations a heavenward striving, one must indeed be deaf to the harmonies of life.
''Keep, ancient lands, your st...
''Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!'' cries she with silent lips. ''Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me; I lift my lamp beside the golden door.''
''If everybody minded their ow...
''If everybody minded their own business,'' the Duchess said in a hoarse growl, ''the world would go round a deal faster than it does.''
''I'' is a militant social ten...
''I'' is a militant social tendency, working to hold and enlarge its place in the general current of tendencies. So far as it can it waxes, as all life does. To think of it as apart from society is a palpable absurdity of which no one could be guilty who really saw it as a fact of life.

''God is Love,'' we are taught...
''God is Love,'' we are taught as children to believe. But when we first begin to get some inkling of how He loves us, we are repelled; it seems so cold, indeed, not love at all as we understand the word.
''Come to the edge,'' He said....
''Come to the edge,'' He said. They said, ''We are afraid.'' ''Come to the edge,'' He said. They cam. He pushed them... and they flew.
"You are old," said ...
"You are old," said the youth, "and your jaws are too weak for anything tougher than suet; yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak. Pray, how did you do it?" "In my youth," said his father, "I took to the law, and argued each case with my wife and the muscular strength which it gave to my jaw has lasted the rest of my life."

"We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?" asked Piglet. "Even longer," Pooh answered.
"There was once a legenda...
"There was once a legendary baseball player," said (John F.) Kennedy. "He never failed to hit when at bat and never dropped a ball. Grounders never dribbled between his legs. He threw with unerring accuracy. In the field and on the bases he had the speed and grace of a leopard. He never tired or missed a signal. In fact, he would have been one of the all-time greats except for one thing - no one was ever able to get him to put down his beer and hot dog and come out of the press box to play."

"Pussy cat, pussy cat, What can I do? There's no cup and saucer, There's no tea for you." "Miou," said the pussy; "Miou, ma'am," said she. "I don't need a tea-cup, I never take tea; Some milk in a saucer, Is better for me."
"Pooh, promise me you won...
"Pooh, promise me you won't forget about me, ever. Not even when I am a hundred." Pooh thought for a little. "How old shall I be then?" "Ninety-nine." Pooh nodded. "I promise," he said.

"May I print a kiss on your lips?" I said, And she nodded her full permission: So we went to press and I rather guess We printed a full edition.
"Know thyself," said...
"Know thyself," said the old philosopher, "improve thyself," saith the new. Our great object in time is not to waste our passions and gifts on the things external that we must leave behind, but that we cultivate within us all that we can carry into the eternal progress beyond.
"Know thyself" - a m...
"Know thyself" - a maxim as pernicious as it is odious. A person observing himself would arrest his own development. Any caterpillar who tried to "know himself" would never become a butterfly.

"For if I wait," said she, "Till time for roses be, For the moss rose and the musk rose, Maiden-blush and royal-dusk rose,- What glory then for me In such a company?- Roses plenty, roses plenty And one nightingale for twenty?"
"But I don't want to go a...
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here." Alice didn't think that proved it at all; however, she went on "And how do you know that you're mad?" "To begin with,' said the Cat, "a dog's not mad. You grant that?" "I suppose so," said Alice. "Well, then," the Cat went on, "you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad."
"A cat may look at a king...
"A cat may look at a king," said Alice. "I've read that in some book, but I don't remember where." "Tut, tut, child!" said the Duchess. "Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it." And she squeezed herself up closer to Alice's side as she spoke.
"You're more trouble than ...
"You're more trouble than the children are" is the greatest compliment a grandparent can receive.
"What do you think of God,...
"What do you think of God," the teacher asked. After a pause, the young pupil replied, "He's not a think, he's a feel."
"Well," said Pooh, ...
"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.
"We, the people." ...
"We, the people." It is a very eloquent beginning. But when that document was completed on the seventeenth of September in 1787 I was not included in that "We, the people." I felt somehow for many years that George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, just left me out by mistake. But through the process of amendment, interpretation and court decision I have finally been included in "We, the people."
"Thou shalt not kill" ...
"Thou shalt not kill" does not apply to murder of one's own kind only, but to all living beings; and this Commandment was inscribed in the human breast long before it was proclaimed from Sinai.
"There are no atheists in ...
"There are no atheists in foxholes" isn't an argument against atheism, it's an argument against foxholes.
"Tell me what you read and...
"Tell me what you read and I'll tell you who you are" is true enough, but I'd know you better if you told me what you reread.
"Old times" never come...
"Old times" never come back and I suppose it's just as well. What comes back is a new morning every day in the year, and that's better.
"Just living is not enough...
"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly, "one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."
"It's snowing still," ...
"It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily. "So it is." "And freezing." "Is it?" "Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately."
"I was six when I saw that...
"I was six when I saw that everything was God, and my hair stood up, and all," Teddy said. "It was on a Sunday, I remember. My sister was a tiny child then, and she was drinking her milk, and all of a sudden I saw that she was God and the milk was God. I mean, all she was doing was pouring God into God, if you know what I mean.
"I must do something" ...
"I must do something" always solves more problems than "Something must be done."
"I have no more than twent...
"I have no more than twenty acres of ground," he replied, "the whole of which I cultivate myself with the help of my children; and our labor keeps off from us the three great evils - boredom, vice, and want."
"I am" is reportedly t...
"I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?
"Hear! hear!" screamed...
"Hear! hear!" screamed the jay from a neighboring tree, where I had heard a tittering for some time, "winter has a concentrated and nutty kernel, if you know where to look for it."
"Give us this day our dail...
"Give us this day our daily bread" is probably the most perfectly constructed and useful sentence ever set down in the English language.
"Every minute dies a man, ...
"Every minute dies a man, Every minute one is born;" I need hardly point out to you that this calculation would tend to keep the sum total of the world's population in a state of perpetual equipoise, whereas it is a well-known fact that the said sum total is constantly on the increase. I would therefore take the liberty of suggesting that in the next edition of your excellent poem the erroneous calculation to which I refer should be corrected as follows: "Every moment dies a man, And one and a sixteenth is born." I may add that the exact figures are 1.067, but something must, of course, be conceded to the laws of metre.
"Charm" - which means ...
"Charm" - which means the power to effect work without employing brute force - is indispensable to women. Charm is a woman's strength just as strength is a man's charm.
“Wouldst thou" - so ...
“Wouldst thou" - so the helmsman answered. - "Learn the secret of the sea? Only those who brave its dangers Comprehend its mystery!”
