Who hastens to the end is silent; loudness is impotence. - [Silence] He knows very little of mankind who expects, by any facts or reasoning, to convince a determined party man. - [Politics] He only is great who has the habits of greatness; who, after performing what none in ten thousand could accomplish, passes on like Samson, and "tells neither father nor mother of it." - [Greatness] He scatters enjoyment who can enjoy much. - [Enjoyment] He submits himself to be seen through a microscope, who suffers himself to be caught in a fit of passion. - [Anger : Passion] He who always prefaces his tale with laughter is poised between impertinence and folly. - [Laughter] He who attempts to make others believe in means which he himself despises is a puffer; he who makes use of more means than he knows to be necessary is a quack; and he who ascribes to those means a greater efficacy than his own experience warrants is an impostor. - [Deceit] He who can at all times sacrifice pleasure to duty approaches sublimity. - [Duty : Pleasure] He who can conceal his joys, is greater than he who can hide his griefs. - [Greatness] He who comes from the kitchen, smells of its smoke; and he who adheres to a sect, has something of its cant; the college air pursues the student; and dry inhumanity him who herds with literary pedants. - [Associates] He who freely praises what he means to purchase, and he who enumerates the faults of what he means to sell, may set up a partnership with honesty. - [Honesty] He who gives himself airs of importance, exhibits the credentials of impotence. - [Proverbs] He who goes round about in his requests wants commonly more than he chooses to appear to want. - [Request] He who has no taste for order will be often wrong in his judgment, and seldom considerate or conscientious in his actions. - [Order] He who has not forgiven an enemy has never yet tasted one of the most sublime enjoyments of life. - [Forgiveness] He who is passionate and hasty is generally honest. It is your cool, dissembling hypocrite of whom you should beware. - [Passion] He who prorogues the honesty of today till to-morrow will probably prorogue his to-morrows to eternity. - [Delay] He who reforms himself has done more toward reforming the public than a crowd of noisy, impotent patriots. - [Reform] He who sedulously attends, pointedly asks, calmly speaks, coolly answers, and ceases when he has no more to say, is in possession of some of the best requisites of man. - [Conversation] He who seeks to imbitter innocent pleasure has a cancer in his heart. - [Pleasure] He who seldom speaks, and with one calm well-timed word can strike dumb the loquacious, is a genius or a hero. - [Genius] Displaying page 3 of 8 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 7 8
