Idleness, Like Kisses, To Be Sweet Must Be Stolen.
~ Jerome K. Jerome For I Do Not Believe God Means Us Thus To Divide Life Into Two Halves - To Wear A Grave Face On Sunday, And To Think It Out-of-place To Even So Much As Mention Him On A Week-day. Do You Think He Cares To See Only Kneeling Figures And To Hear Only Tones Of Prayer - And That He Does Not Also Love To See The Lambs Leaping In The Sunlight, And To Hear The Merry Voices Of The Children, As They Roll Amoung The Hay? Surely Their Innocent Laughter Is As Sweet In His Ears As The Grandest Anthem That Ever Rolled Up From The Dim Religious Light Of Some Solemn Cathedral?
~ Lewis Carroll An Act Of Goodness Is Of Itself An Act Of Happiness. No Reward Coming After The Event Can Compare With The Sweet Reward That Went With It.
~ Maurice Masterlinck Nay, Tempt Me Not To Love Again There Was A Time When Love Was Sweet Dear Nea Had I Known Thee Then, Our Souls Had Not Been Slow To Meet But Oh This Weary Heart Hath Run So Many A Time The Rounds Of Pain, Not Even For Thee, Thou Lovely One Would I Endure Such Pangs Again.
~ Sir Thomas More 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 With True Friends... Even Water Drunk Together Is Sweet Enough.
~ Chinese Prove 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 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 On Marriage Look For A Sweet Person. Forget Rich.
~ Estee Laude Partying Is Such Sweet Sorrow.
~ Robert Byrne Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori. Sweet And Fitting It Is To Die For The Fatherland.
~ Wilfred Owen, Poem: Dulce et Decorum est Mighty Are The Winds Of Time, Which Sweep Away The Despair Of A Broken Heart, Which Blow Back The Essence Of Life, Which Refresh The Soul With Yet Another Sweet Countenance.
~ Dax Ward
