I think that Nature meant kindly when she made our brothers few. However, my voice is still for peace.
Henry David ThoreauIt is a very true and expressive phrase, "He looked daggers at me," for the first pattern and prototype of all daggers must have been a glance of the eye.... It is wonderful how we get about the streets without being wounded by these delicate and glancing weapons, a man can so nimbly whip out his rapier, or without being noticed carry it unsheathed. Yet it is rare that one gets seriously looked at.
Henry David ThoreauWhat a fool he must be who thinks that his El Dorado is anywhere but where he lives.
