You must learn to forgive a man when he's in love. He's always a nuisance.

We had a kettle; we let it leak: Our not repairing made it worse. We haven't had any tea for a week... The bottom is out of the Universe.

Too much work and too much energy kill a man just as effectively as too much assorted vice or too much drink.

Your new-caught, sullen peoples, / Half-devil and half child.

The tumalt and shouting dies, The captains and the kings depart. Still stands thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heat. Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget.

A tale from which pieces have been raked out is like a fire that has been poked. One does not know the operation has been performed, but everyone feels the effect.

Still stands thine ancient sacrifice - An humble and a contrite heart.
