Most modern calendars mar the sweet simplicity of our lives by reminding us that each day that passes is the anniversary of some perfectly uninteresting event.
~ Oscar Wilde Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because youth is sweet and they are growing.
~ Aristotle Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery Forbid it, Almighty God I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death
~ Patrick Henry What is a kiss? Why this, as some approve: The sure, sweet cement, glue, and lime of love.
~ Robert Herrick Now cracks a noble heart. Good night sweet prince And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest
~ William Shakespeare How sweet and soothing is this hour of calm! I thank thee, night! for thou has chased away these horrid bodements which, amidst the throng, I could not dissipate; and with the blessing of thy benign and quiet influence now will I to my couch, although to rest is almost wronging such a night as this.
~ Lord Byron How sweet it would be to treat men and things, for an hour, for just what they are!
~ Henry David Thoreau, Simplify Simplify Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember.
~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca ... Nature, whose sweet rains fall of just and unjust alike, will have clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence I may weep undetected. She will hang the night with stars so that I may walk abroad in the darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my footprints so that none may track me to my hurt: she will cleanse me in great waters, and with bitter herbs make me whole.
~ Oscar Wilde, "De Profundis" The holy passion of Friendship is of so sweet and steady and loyal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime, if not asked to lend money.
~ Mark Twain Flowers never emit so sweet and strong a fragrance as before a storm. When a storm approaches thee, be as fragrant as a sweet-smelling flower.
~ Jean Paul Richter Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion
~ Job 3831 Bible
