QUOTATIONS FROM THE WORKS OF GEORGE MEREDITH

THE SHAVING OF SHAGPAT, V1 [GM#07][GM07V10.TXT]4401

How little a thing serves Fortune's turn

Ripe with oft telling and old is the tale

The curse of sorrow is comparison!

THE SHAVING OF SHAGPAT, V2 [GM#08][GM08V10.TXT]4402

Delay in thine undertaking is disaster of thy own making

Lest thou commence to lie—be dumb!

No runner can outstrip his fate

'Tis the first step that makes a path

When to loquacious fools with patience rare I listen

THE SHAVING OF SHAGPAT, V3 [GM#09][GM09V10.TXT]4403

Arm'd with Fear the Foe finds passage to the vital part

Fear nought so much as Fear itself

If thou wouldst fix remembrance—thwack!

Nought credit but what outward orbs reveal

The overwise themselves hoodwink

The king without his crown hath a forehead like the clown

Vanity maketh the strongest most weak

Where fools are the fathers of every miracle

Who in a labyrinth wandereth without clue

THE SHAVING OF SHAGPAT, V4 [GM#10][GM10V10.TXT]4404

A woman's at the core of every plot man plotteth

Every failure is a step advanced

Failures oft are but advising friends

Like an ill-reared fruit, first at the core it rotteth

More culpable the sparer than the spared

Persist, if thou wouldst truly reach thine ends

Too often hangs the house on one loose stone

ORDEAL RICHARD FEVEREL, V1 [GM#12][GM12V10.TXT]4406

A style of affable omnipotence about the wise youth

After five years of marriage, and twelve of friendship

Among boys there are laws of honour and chivalrous codes

An edge to his smile that cuts much like a sneer

Complacent languor of the wise youth

Huntress with few scruples and the game unguarded

It is no use trying to conceal anything from him

It was his ill luck to have strong appetites and a weak stomach

Minutes taken up by the grey puffs from their mouths

No! Gentlemen don't fling stones; leave that to the blackguards

Our new thoughts have thrilled dead bosoms

Rogue on the tremble of detection

Rumour for the nonce had a stronger spice of truth than usual

She can make puddens and pies

The born preacher we feel instinctively to be our foe

There is for the mind but one grasp of happiness

Those days of intellectual coxcombry

Troublesome appendages of success

Wisdom goes by majorities

Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man

ORDEAL RICHARD FEVEREL, V2 [GM#13][GM13V10.TXT]4407

And so Farewell my young Ambition! and with it farewell all true

And to these instructions he gave an aim: "First be virtuous"

In Sir Austin's Note-book was written: "Between Simple Boyhood…"

It was now, as Sir Austin had written it down, The Magnetic Age

Laying of ghosts is a public duty

On the threshold of Puberty, there is one Unselfish Hour

Seed-Time passed thus smoothly, and adolescence came on

They believe that the angels have been busy about them

Who rises from Prayer a better man, his prayer is answered

Young as when she looked upon the lovers in Paradise

You've got no friend but your bed

ORDEAL RICHARD FEVEREL, V3 [GM#14][GM14V10.TXT]4408

A young philosopher's an old fool!

Cold charity to all

I cannot get on with Gibbon

In our House, my son, there is peculiar blood. We go to wreck!

Our most diligent pupil learns not so much as an earnest teacher

ORDEAL RICHARD FEVEREL, V4 [GM#15][GM15V10.TXT]4409

Although it blew hard when Caesar crossed the Rubicon

As when nations are secretly preparing for war

The world is wise in its way

The danger of a little knowledge of things is disputable

Wise in not seeking to be too wise

Yet, though Angels smile, shall not Devils laugh

ORDEAL RICHARD FEVEREL, V5 [GM#16][GM16V10.TXT]4410

A woman who has mastered sauces sits on the apex of civilization

Behold the hero embarked in the redemption of an erring beauty

Come prepared to be not very well satisfied with anything

Habit had legalized his union with her

Hero embarked in the redemption of an erring beautiful woman

His equanimity was fictitious

His fancy performed miraculous feats

How many instruments cannot clever women play upon

I ain't a speeder of matrimony

Opened a wider view of the world to him, and a colder

Serene presumption

The Pilgrim's Scrip remarks that: Young men take joy in nothing

Threats of prayer, however, that harp upon their sincerity

To be passive in calamity is the province of no woman

Unaccustomed to have his will thwarted

Women are swift at coming to conclusions in these matters

ORDEAL RICHARD FEVEREL, V6 [GM#17][GM17V10.TXT]4411

A maker of Proverbs—what is he but a narrow mind wit

Feeling, nothing beyond a lively interest in her well-being

Further she read, "Which is the coward among us?"

Gentleman who does so much 'cause he says so little

Hermits enamoured of wind and rain

Heroine, in common with the hero, has her ambition to be of use

I rather like to hear a woman swear. It embellishes her!

I beg of my husband, and all kind people who may have the care

Intensely communicative, but inarticulate

Just bad inquirin' too close among men

January was watering and freezing old earth by turns

South-western Island has few attractions to other than invalids

Take 'em somethin' like Providence—as they come

Task of reclaiming a bad man is extremely seductive to good women

This was a totally different case from the antecedent ones

SANDRA BELLONI, V1 [GM#19][GM19V10.TXT]4413

Being heard at night, in the nineteenth century

Pleasure sat like an inextinguishable light on her face

Beyond a plot of flowers, a gold-green meadow dipped to a ridge

His alien ideas were not unimpressed by the picture

Hushing together, they agreed that it had been a false move

I had to make my father and mother live on potatoes

I had to cross the park to give a lesson

She was perhaps a little the taller of the two

The circle which the ladies of Brookfield were designing

The gallant cornet adored delicacy and a gilded refinement

The philosopher (I would keep him back if I could)

They had all noticed, seen, and observed

SANDRA BELLONI, V2 [GM#20][GM20V10.TXT]4414

Emilia alone of the party was as a blot to her

I cannot delay; but I request you, that are here privileged

I detest anything that has to do with gratitude

Love, with his accustomed cunning

No nose to the hero, no moral to the tale

Nor can a protest against coarseness be sweepingly interpreted

One of those men whose characters are read off at a glance

The majority, however, had been snatched out of this bliss

Their way was down a green lane and across long meadow-paths

They, meantime, who had a contempt for sleep

Women are wonderfully quick scholars under ridicule

SANDRA BELLONI, V3 [GM#21][GM21V10.TXT]4415

And, ladies, if you will consent to be likened to a fruit

Passion does not inspire dark appetite—Dainty innocence does

The sentimentalists are represented by them among the civilized

The woman follows the man, and music fits to verse,

You have not to be told that I desire your happiness above all

Wilfrid perceived that he had become an old man

SANDRA BELLONI, V4 [GM#22][GM22V10.TXT]4416

A marriage without love is dishonour

Bear in mind that we are sentimentalists—The eye is our servant

I am not ashamed

Love that shrieks at a mortal wound, and bleeds humanly

Love the poor devil

My mistress! My glorious stolen fruit! My dark angel of love

Poor mortals are not in the habit of climbing Olympus to ask

Revived for them so much of themselves

Solitude is pasturage for a suspicion

Victims of the modern feminine'ideal'

SANDRA BELLONI, V5 [GM#23][GM23V10.TXT]4417

Am I ill? I must be hungry!

Depreciating it after the fashion of chartered hypocrites.

Fine Shades were still too dominant at Brookfield

He thinks that the country must be saved by its women as well

I know that your father has been hearing tales told of me

My voice! I have my voice! Emilia had cried it out to herself

She had great awe of the word 'business'

SANDRA BELLONI, V6 [GM#24][GM24V10.TXT]4418

Active despair is a passion that must be superseded

But love for a parent is not merely duty

Had Shakespeare's grandmother three Christian names?

Littlenesses of which women are accused

Love discerns unerringly what is and what is not duty

Our partner is our master

Passion, he says, is noble strength on fire

Silence was their only protection to the Nice Feelings

The dismally-lighted city wore a look of Judgement terrible to see

The sentimentalist goes on accumulating images

True love excludes no natural duty

SANDRA BELLONI, V7 [GM#25][GM25V10.TXT]4419

A plunge into the deep is of little moment

And he passed along the road, adds the Philosopher

It was as if she had been eyeing a golden door shut fast

My engagement to Mr. Pericles is that I am not to write

Man who beats his wife my first question is, 'Do he take his tea?'

Oh! beastly bathos

On a wild April morning

Once my love? said he. Not now?—does it mean, not now?

So it is when you play at Life! When you will not go straight

To know that you are in England, breathing the same air with me

We are, in short, a civilized people

We have now looked into the hazy interior of their systems

What was this tale of Emilia, that grew more and more perplexing

RHODA FLEMING, V1 [GM#27][GM27V10.TXT]4421

But great, powerful London—the new universe to her spirit

But the key to young men is the ambition, or, in the place of it…..

But you must be beautiful to please some men

Dahlia, the perplexity to her sister's heart, lay stretched….

Developing stiff, solid, unobtrusive men, and very personable women

It was her prayer to heaven that she might save a doctor's bill

Mrs. Fleming, of Queen Anne's Farm, was the wife of a yeoman

My plain story is of two Kentish damsels

The idea of love upon the lips of ordinary men, provoked Dahlia's irony

The kindest of men can be cruel

William John Fleming was simply a poor farmer

RHODA FLEMING, V2 [GM#28][GM28V10.TXT]4422

A fleet of South-westerly rainclouds had been met in mid-sky

Borrower to be dancing on Fortune's tight-rope above the old abyss

Childish faith in the beneficence of the unseen Powers who feed us

Dead Britons are all Britons, but live Britons are not quite brothers

He had no recollection of having ever dined without drinking wine

He tried to gather his ideas, but the effort was like that of a light dreamer

Land and beasts! They sound like blessed things

My first girl—she's brought disgrace on this house

Then, if you will not tell me

To be a really popular hero anywhere in Britain (must be a drinker)

You're a rank, right-down widow, and no mistake

RHODA FLEMING, V3 [GM#29][GM29V10.TXT]4423

All women are the same—Know one, know all

Exceeding variety and quantity of things money can buy

He will be a part of every history (the fool)

I never pay compliments to transparent merit

I haven't got the pluck of a flea

Love dies like natural decay

Pleasant companion, who did not play the woman obtrusively among men

Silence is commonly the slow poison used by those who mean to murder love

The woman seeking for an anomaly wants a master

The backstairs of history (Memoirs)

To be her master, however, one must not begin by writhing as her slave

Wait till the day's ended before you curse your luck

With this money, said the demon, you might speculate

Work is medicine

RHODA FLEMING, V4 [GM#30][GM30V10.TXT]4424

Ashamed of letting his ears be filled with secret talk

Full-o'-Beer's a hasty chap

Gravely reproaching the tobacconist for the growing costliness of cigars

He lies as naturally as an infant sucks

I would cut my tongue out, if it did you a service

Inferences are like shadows on the wall

Marriage is an awful thing, where there's no love

One learns to have compassion for fools, by studying them

Principle of examining your hypothesis before you proceed to decide by it

Rhoda will love you. She is firm when she loves

Sort of religion with her to believe no wrong of you

The unhappy, who do not wish to live, and cannot die

You choose to give yourself to an obscure dog

RHODA FLEMING, V5 [GM#31][GM31V10.TXT]4425

You who may have cared for her through her many tribulations, have no fear

Can a man go farther than his nature?

Cold curiosity

Found by the side of the bed, inanimate, and pale as a sister of death

Sinners are not to repent only in words

So long as we do not know that we are performing any remarkable feat

There were joy-bells for Robert and Rhoda, but none for Dahlia

EVAN HARRINGTON, V1 [GM#33][GM33V10.TXT]4427

A man who rejected medicine in extremity

A share of pity for the objects she despised

A sixpence kindly meant is worth any crown-piece that's grudged

A youth who is engaged in the occupation of eating his heart

Accustomed to be paid for by his country

British hunger for news; second only to that for beef

Brotherhood among the select who wear masks instead of faces

By forbearance, put it in the wrong

Cheerful martyr

Common voice of praise in the mouths of his creditors

Embarrassments of an uncongenial employment

Empty stomachs are foul counsellors

Equally acceptable salted when it cannot be had fresh

Far higher quality is the will that can subdue itself to wait

Few feelings are single on this globe

Gentlefolks like straight-forwardness in their inferiors

He squandered the guineas, she patiently picked up the pence

His wife alone, had, as they termed it, kept him together

I'll come as straight as I can

Informed him that he never played jokes with money, or on men

It was in a time before our joyful era of universal equality

It's no use trying to be a gentleman if you can't pay for it

Lay no petty traps for opportunity

Looked as proud as if he had just clapped down the full amount

Man without a penny in his pocket, and a gizzard full of pride

Men they regard as their natural prey

Most youths are like Pope's women; they have no character

Occasional instalments—just to freshen the account

Oh! I can't bear that class of people

Partake of a morning draught

Patronizing woman

Propitiate common sense on behalf of what seems tolerably absurd

Rare as epic song is the man who is thorough in what he does

Requiring natural services from her in the button department

Said she was what she would have given her hand not to be

She was at liberty to weep if she pleased

She, not disinclined to dilute her grief

Speech that has to be hauled from the depths usually betrays

Such a man was banned by the world, which was to be despised?

Tenderness which Mrs. Mel permitted rather than encouraged

To be both generally blamed, and generally liked

To let people speak was a maxim of Mrs. Mel's, and a wise one

Toyed with little flowers of palest memory

Tradesman, and he never was known to have sent in a bill

True enjoyment of the princely disposition

What he did, she took among other inevitable matters

Whose bounty was worse to him than his abuse

With a proud humility

You rides when you can, and you walks when you must

Youth is not alarmed by the sound of big sums

EVAN HARRINGTON, V2 [GM#34][GM34V10.TXT]4428

Adept in the lie implied

Commencement of a speech proves that you have made the plunge

Forty seconds too fast, as if it were a capital offence

Friend he would not shake off, but could not well link with

Habit, what a sacred and admirable thing it is

He grunted that a lying clock was hateful to him

He had his character to maintain

I 'm a bachelor, and a person—you're married, and an object

I take off my hat, Nan, when I see a cobbler's stall

Incapable of putting the screw upon weak excited nature

It's a fool that hopes for peace anywhere

Men do not play truant from home at sixty years of age

No great harm done when you're silent

Taking oath, as it were, by their lower nature

Tears that dried as soon as they had served their end

That beautiful trust which habit gives

That plain confession of a lack of wit; he offered combat

The ass eats at my table, and treats me with contempt

The grey furniture of Time for his natural wear

You're the puppet of your women!

What's an eccentric? a child grown grey!

EVAN HARRINGTON, V3 [GM#35][GM35V10.TXT]4429

A lover must have his delusions, just as a man must have a skin

A woman rises to her husband. But a man is what he is

Abject sense of the lack of a circumference

Amiable mirror as being wilfully ruffled to confuse

Because men can't abide praise of another man

Brief negatives are not re-assuring to a lover's uneasy mind

But a woman must now and then ingratiate herself

Can you not be told you are perfect without seeking to improve

Command of countenance the Countess possessed

Damsel who has lost the third volume of an exciting novel

English maids are domesticated savage animals

Every woman that's married isn't in love with her husband

Eyes of a lover are not his own; but his hands and lips are

Good nature, and means no more harm than he can help

Graduated naturally enough the finer stages of self-deception

Have her profile very frequently while I am conversing with her

He was in love, and subtle love will not be shamed and smothered

I did, replied Evan. 'I told a lie.'

Is he jealous? 'Only when I make him, he is.'

Make no effort to amuse him. He is always occupied

Married a wealthy manufacturer—bartered her blood for his money

Notoriously been above the honours of grammar

Our comedies are frequently youth's tragedies

Rebukes which give immeasurable rebounds

Recalling her to the subject-matter with all the patience

Remarked that the young men must fight it out together

Rose was much behind her age

Rose! what have I done? 'Nothing at all,' she said

Says you're so clever you ought to be a man

She believed friendship practicable between men and women

The Countess dieted the vanity according to the nationality

The letter had a smack of crabbed age hardly counterfeit

Took care to be late, so that all eyes beheld her

Tried to be honest, and was as much so as his disease permitted

Virtuously zealous in an instant on behalf of the lovely dame

When you run away, you don't live to fight another day

With good wine to wash it down, one can swallow anything

You do want polish

You talk your mother with a vengeance

EVAN HARRINGTON, V4 [GM#36][GM36V10.TXT]4430

Admirable scruples of an inveterate borrower

An obedient creature enough where he must be

Bound to assure everybody at table he was perfectly happy

Confident serenity inspired by evil prognostications

Enamoured young men have these notions

Gossip always has some solid foundation, however small

He kept saying to himself, 'to-morrow I will tell'

I always wait for a thing to happen first

I never see anything, my dear

Love is a contagious disease

Never to despise the good opinion of the nonentities

One seed of a piece of folly will lurk and sprout to confound us

Secrets throw on the outsiders the onus of raising a scandal

She did not detest the Countess because she could not like her

Thus does Love avenge himself on the unsatisfactory Past

Touching a nerve

Unfeminine of any woman to speak continuously anywhere

Vulgarity in others evoked vulgarity in her

EVAN HARRINGTON, V5 [GM#37][GM37V10.TXT]4431

A madman gets madder when you talk reason to him

Ah! how sweet to waltz through life with the right partner

And not any of your grand ladies can match my wife at home

Any man is in love with any woman

Believed in her love, and judged it by the strength of his own

Eating, like scratching, only wants a beginning

Feel no shame that I do not feel!

Feel they are not up to the people they are mixing with

Found it difficult to forgive her his own folly

Good and evil work together in this world

Hated one thing alone—which was 'bother'

He has been tolerably honest, Tom, for a man and a lover

I cannot live a life of deceit. A life of misery—not deceit

If we are to please you rightly, always allow us to play First

It is no insignificant contest when love has to crush self-love

Listened to one another, and blinded the world

Maxims of her own on the subject of rising and getting the worm

My belief is, you do it on purpose. Can't be such rank idiots

No conversation coming of it, her curiosity was violent

One fool makes many, and so, no doubt, does one goose

Play second fiddle without looking foolish

Second fiddle; he could only mean what she meant

Sense, even if they can't understand it, flatters them so

The commonest things are the worst done

The thrust sinned in its shrewdness

Those numerous women who always know themselves to be right

Two people love, there is no such thing as owing between them

Waited serenely for the certain disasters to enthrone her

What will be thought of me? not a small matter to any of us

When testy old gentlemen could commit slaughter with ecstasy

Why, he'll snap your head off for a word

EVAN HARRINGTON, V6 [GM#38][GM38V10.TXT]4432

After a big blow, a very little one scarcely counts

Because he stood so high with her now he feared the fall

Hope which lies in giving men a dose of hysterics

If I love you, need you care what anybody else thinks

Pride is the God of Pagans

Read one another perfectly in their mutual hypocrisies

Refuge in the Castle of Negation against the whole army of facts

Speech is poor where emotion is extreme

The power to give and take flattery to any amount

What a stock of axioms young people have handy

When Love is hurt, it is self-love that requires the opiate

Wrapped in the comfort of his cowardice

You accuse or you exonerate—Nobody can be half guilty

EVAN HARRINGTON, V7 [GM#39][GM39V10.TXT]4433

A man to be trusted with the keys of anything

Because you loved something better than me

Bitten hard at experience, and know the value of a tooth

From head to foot nothing better than a moan made visible

Glimpse of her whole life in the horrid tomb of his embrace

Gratuitous insult

How many degrees from love gratitude may be

In truth she sighed to feel as he did, above everybody

It 's us hard ones that get on best in the world

It is better for us both, of course

Never intended that we should play with flesh and blood

She was unworthy to be the wife of a tailor

Sincere as far as she knew: as far as one who loves may be

Small beginnings, which are in reality the mighty barriers

Spiritualism, and on the balm that it was

We deprive all renegades of their spiritual titles

EVAN HARRINGTON, ALL [GM#40][GM40V10.TXT]4434

VITTORIA, V1 [GM#41][GM41V10.TXT]4435

Footing up a mountain corrects the notion (that I am important)

He saw far, and he grasped ends beyond obstacles

Poetry does much upon reflection, but it has to ripen within you

There is comfort in exercise, even for an ancient creature such as I am

VITTORIA, V2 [GM#42][GM42V10.TXT]4436

Agostino was enjoying the smoke of paper cigarettes

Anguish to think of having bent the knee for nothing

Art of despising what he coveted

Compliment of being outwitted by their own offspring

Hated tears, considering them a clog to all useful machinery

Intentions are really rich possessions

Italians were like women, and wanted—a real beating

Necessary for him to denounce somebody

Profound belief in her partiality for him

VITTORIA, V3 [GM#43][GM43V10.TXT]4437

A fortress face; strong and massive, and honourable in ruin

Defiance of foes and (what was harder to brave) of friends

Do I serve my hand? or, Do I serve my heart?

Good nerve to face the scene which he is certain will be enacted

Government of brain; not sufficient Insurrection of heart

Had taken refuge in their opera-glasses

He postponed it to the next minute and the next

I hope I am not too hungry to discriminate

I know nothing of imagination

In Italy, a husband away, ze friend takes title

Morales, madame, suit ze sun

No intoxication of hot blood to cheer those who sat at home

Not to be feared more than are the general race of bunglers

Patience is the pestilence

People who can lose themselves in a ray of fancy at any season

Question with some whether idiots should live

Rarely exacted obedience, and she was spontaneously obeyed

The divine afflatus of enthusiasm buoyed her no longer

Too weak to resist, to submit to an outrage quietly

We are good friends till we quarrel again

We can bear to fall; we cannot afford to draw back

Who shrinks from an hour that is suspended in doubt

Whole body of fanatics combined to precipitate the devotion

Youth will not believe that stupidity and beauty can go together

VITTORIA, V4 [GM#44][GM44V10.TXT]4438

A common age once, when he married her; now she had grown old

Critical in their first glance at a prima donna

Forgetfulness is like a closing sea

He is inexorable, being the guilty one of the two

Her singing struck a note of grateful remembered delight

It rarely astonishes our ears. It illumines our souls

Madness that sane men enamoured can be struck by

Obedience oils necessity

Our life is but a little holding, lent To do a mighty labour

Simple obstinacy of will sustained her

The devil trusts nobody

Was born on a hired bed

VITTORIA, V5 [GM#45][GM45V10.TXT]4439

An angry woman will think the worst

Be on your guard the next two minutes he gets you alone

No word is more lightly spoken than shame

O heaven! of what avail is human effort?

She thought that friendship was sweeter than love

Taint of the hypocrisy which comes with shame

They take fever for strength, and calmness for submission

Women and men are in two hostile camps

VITTORIA, V6 [GM#46][GM46V10.TXT]4440

As the Lord decided, so it would end! "Oh, delicious creed!"

By our manner of loving we are known

Every church of the city lent its iron tongue to the peal

Fast growing to be an eccentric by profession

I always respected her; I never liked her

Too well used to defeat to believe readily in victory

Will not admit the existence of a virtue in an opposite opinion

VITTORIA, V7 [GM#47][GM47V10.TXT]4441

But is there such a thing as happiness

Conduct is never a straight index where the heart's involved

Deep as a mother's, pure as a virgin's, fiery as a saint's

Foolish trick of thinking for herself

Fortitude leaned so much upon the irony

Grand air of pitying sadness

Ironical fortitude

Longing for love and dependence

Love of men and women as a toy that I have played with

Pain is a cloak that wraps you about

She was sick of personal freedom

Watch, and wait

Went into endless invalid's laughter

Why should these men take so much killing?

You can master pain, but not doubt

VITTORIA, V8 [GM#48][GM48V10.TXT]4442

Confess no more than is necessary, but do everything you can

English antipathy to babblers

Every church of the city lent its iron tongue to the peal

Fast growing to be an eccentric by profession

Foolish trick of thinking for herself

Forgetfulness is like a closing sea

Fortitude leaned so much upon the irony

Good nerve to face the scene which he is certain will be enacted

Government of brain; not sufficient Insurrection of heart

Grand air of pitying sadness

Had taken refuge in their opera-glasses

Hated tears, considering them a clog to all useful machinery

He is in the season of faults

He is inexorable, being the guilty one of the two

He postponed it to the next minute and the next

Her singing struck a note of grateful remembered delight

I always respected her; I never liked her

I hope I am not too hungry to discriminate

I know nothing of imagination

Impossible for us women to comprehend love without folly in man

In Italy, a husband away, ze friend takes title

Intentions are really rich possessions

Ironical fortitude

It rarely astonishes our ears It illumines our souls

Italians were like women, and wanted—a real beating

Longing for love and dependence

Love of men and women as a toy that I have played with

Madness that sane men enamoured can be struck by

Morales, madame, suit ze sun

Necessary for him to denounce somebody

Never, never love a married woman

No intoxication of hot blood to cheer those who sat at home

No word is more lightly spoken than shame

Not to be feared more than are the general race of bunglers

O heaven! of what avail is human effort?

Obedience oils necessity

Our life is but a little holding, lent To do a mighty labour

Pain is a cloak that wraps you about

Patience is the pestilence

People who can lose themselves in a ray of fancy at any season

Profound belief in her partiality for him

Question with some whether idiots should live

Rarely exacted obedience, and she was spontaneously obeyed

She thought that friendship was sweeter than love

She was sick of personal freedom

Simple obstinacy of will sustained her

Speech was a scourge to her sense of hearing

Taint of the hypocrisy which comes with shame

The devil trusts nobody

The divine afflatus of enthusiasm buoyed her no longer

They take fever for strength, and calmness for submission

Too weak to resist, to submit to an outrage quietly

Too well used to defeat to believe readily in victory

Was born on a hired bed

Watch, and wait

We are good friends till we quarrel again

We can bear to fall; we cannot afford to draw back

Went into endless invalid's laughter

Who shrinks from an hour that is suspended in doubt

Whole body of fanatics combined to precipitate the devotion

Why should these men take so much killing?

Will not admit the existence of a virtue in an opposite opinion

Women and men are in two hostile camps

You can master pain, but not doubt

Youth will not believe that stupidity and beauty can go together

A stew's a stew, and not a boiling to shreds

I can't think brisk out of my breeches

Kindness is kindness, all over the world

Learn all about them afterwards, ay, and make the best of them

To hope, and not be impatient, is really to believe

Unseemly hour—unbetimes

ADVENTURES OF HARRY RICHMOND, V2 [GM#51][GM51V10.TXT]4445

Attacked my conscience on the cowardly side

Days when you lay on your back and the sky rained apples

Dogmatic arrogance of a just but ignorant man

He put no question to anybody

I can pay clever gentlemen for doing Greek for me

Irony instead of eloquence

Simplicity is the keenest weapon

The most dangerous word of all—ja

There's ne'er a worse off but there's a better off

Vessel was conspiring to ruin our self-respect

Ask pardon of you, without excusing myself

Habit of antedating his sagacity

He thinks or he chews

If you kneel down, who will decline to put a foot on you?

It goes at the lifting of the bridegroom's little finger

Look within, and avoid lying

Mindless, he says, and arrogant

One who studies is not being a fool

The past is our mortal mother, no dead thing

The proper defence for a nation is its history

Then for us the struggle, for him the grief

They seem to me to be educated to conceal their education

We has long overshadowed "I"

Who beguiles so much as Self?

ADVENTURES OF HARRY RICHMOND, V5 [GM#54][GM54V10.TXT]4448

Decent insincerity

Discreet play with her eyelids in our encounters

Excellent is pride; but oh! be sure of its foundations

I do not defend myself ever

Nations at war are wild beasts

Only true race, properly so called, out of India—German

Some so-called laws of honour

They are little ironical laughter—Accidents

War is only an exaggerated form of duelling

Winter mornings are divine. They move on noiselessly

ADVENTURES OF HARRY RICHMOND, V6 [GM#55][GM55V10.TXT]4449

Bandied the weariful shuttlecock of gallantry

Determine that the future is in our debt, and draw on it

Faith works miracles. At least it allows time for them

He whipped himself up to one of his oratorical frenzies

I was discontented, and could not speak my discontent

No Act to compel a man to deny what appears in the papers

Puns are the smallpox of the language

Stultification of one's feelings and ideas

They dare not. The more I dare, the less dare they

Too prompt, too full of personal relish of his point

ADVENTURES OF HARRY RICHMOND, V7 [GM#56][GM56V10.TXT]4450

All passed too swift for happiness

He clearly could not learn from misfortune

Intimations of cowardice menacing a paralysis of the will

Like a woman, who would and would not, and wanted a master

One in a temper at a time I'm sure 's enough

Simple affection must bear the strain of friendship if it can

Stand not in my way, nor follow me too far

Tension of the old links keeping us together

The thought stood in her eyes

They have not to speak to exhibit their minds

Tight grasps of the hand, in which there was warmth and shyness

To the rest of the world he was a progressive comedy

Was I true? Not so very false, yet how far from truth!

Who so intoxicated as the convalescent catching at health?

ADVENTURES OF HARRY RICHMOND, V8 [GM#57][GM57V10.TXT]4451

Absolute freedom could be the worst of perils

Add on a tired pipe after dark, and a sound sleep to follow

Allowed silly sensitiveness to prevent the repair

As little trouble as the heath when the woods are swept

Bade his audience to beware of princes

But the flower is a thing of the season; the flower drops off

But to strangle craving is indeed to go through a death

Is it any waste of time to write of love?

Not to do things wholly is worse than not to do things at all

Payment is no more so than to restore money held in trust

Self, was digging pits for comfort to flow in

Tears are the way of women and their comfort

The love that survives has strangled craving

The wretch who fears death dies multitudinously

There is more in men and women than the stuff they utter

Those who are rescued and made happy by circumstances

To kill the deer and be sorry for the suffering wretch is common

Twice a bad thing to turn sinners loose

What a man hates in adversity is to see 'faces'

What else is so consolatory to a ruined man?

Who shuns true friends flies fortune in the concrete

Would he see what he aims at? let him ask his heels

You may learn to know yourself through love

A bone in a boy's mind for him to gnaw and worry

A kind of anchorage in case of indiscretion

A night that had shivered repose

Am I thy master, or thou mine?

An instinct labouring to supply the deficiencies of stupidity

And now came war, the purifier and the pestilence

And one gets the worst of it (in any bargain)

Anticipate opposition by initiating measures

Appetite to flourish at the cost of the weaker

As for titles, the way to defend them is to be worthy of them

Boys are unjust

Braggadocioing in deeds is only next bad to mouthing it

Calm fanaticism of the passion of love

Compassionate sentiments veered round to irate amazement

Despises the pomades and curling-irons of modern romance

Disqualification of constantly offending prejudices

Efforts to weary him out of his project were unsuccessful

Empty magnanimity which his uncle presented to him

Energy to something, that was not to be had in a market

Feminine pity, which is nearer to contempt than to tenderness

Fit of Republicanism in the nursery

Forewarn readers of this history that there is no plot in it

Haunted many pillows

He had expected romance, and had met merchandize

He was too much on fire to know the taste of absurdity

Holding to his work after the strain's over—That tells the man

Humour preserved her from excesses of sentiment

I cannot say less, and will say no more

Impudent boy's fling at superiority over the superior

In India they sacrifice the widows, in France the virgins

Incessantly speaking of the necessity we granted it unknowingly

Levelling a finger at the taxpayer

Men had not pleased him of late

Mental and moral neuters

Never was a word fitter for a quack's mouth than "humanity"

No case is hopeless till a man consents to think it is

Peace-party which opposed was the actual cause of the war

Peculiar subdued form of laughter through the nose

Play the great game of blunders

Please to be pathetic on that subject after I am wrinkled

Politics as well as the other diseases

Press, which had kindled, proceeded to extinguished

Presumptuous belief

Ready is the ardent mind to take footing on the last thing done

She was not, happily, one of the women who betray strong feeling

Shuns the statuesque pathetic, or any kind of posturing

Straining for common talk, and showing the strain

Style resembling either early architecture or utter dilapidation

The people always wait for the winner

The system is cursed by nature, and that means by heaven

The tragedy of the mirror is one for a woman to write

Times when an example is needed by brave men

Tongue flew, thought followed

We could row and ride and fish and shoot, and breed largely

We dare not be weak if we would

We were unarmed, and the spectacle was distressing

We're treated like old-fashioned ornaments!

There is no first claim

There's nothing like a metaphor for an evasion

They're always having to retire and always hissing

Those happy men who enjoy perceptions without opinions

A cloud of millinery shoots me off a mile from a woman

A string of pearls: a woman who goes beyond that's in danger

Admires a girl when there's no married woman or widow in sight

After forty, men have married their habits

An old spoiler of women is worse than one spoiled by them!

And never did a stroke of work in my life

Are we practical?' penetrates the bosom of an English audience

As to wit, the sneer is the cloak of clumsiness

Contemptuous exclusiveness could not go farther

Discover the writers in a day when all are writing!

Feigned utter condemnation to make partial comfort acceptable

Frozen vanity called pride, which does not seek to be revenged

Half-truth that we may put on the mask of the whole

Hopes of a coming disillusion that would restore him

How angry I should be with you if you were not so beautiful!

I can confess my sight to be imperfect: but will you ever do so?

If there's no doubt about it, how is it I have a doubt about it?

It is not high flying, which usually ends in heavy falling

Let none of us be so exalted above the wit of daily life

No heart to dare is no heart to love!

Oggler's genial piety made him shrink with nausea

Past fairness, vaguely like a snow landscape in the thaw

Planting the past in the present like a perceptible ghost

Pleasure-giving laws that make the curves we recognize as beauty

Practical or not, the good people affectingly wish to be

Shun comparisons

So the frog telleth tadpoles

Socially and politically mean one thing in the end

Story that she believed indeed, but had not quite sensibly felt

The critic that sneers

The language of party is eloquent

The slavery of the love of a woman chained

There may be women who think as well as feel; I don't know them

Trust no man Still, this man may be better than that man

Use your religion like a drug

Who cannot talk!—but who can?

Wives are only an item in the list, and not the most important

Good maxim for the wrathful—speak not at all

Impossible for him to think that women thought

Leader accustomed to count ahead upon vapourish abstractions

Love, that has risen above emotion, quite independent of craving

Made of his creed a strait-jacket for humanity

Mankind is offended by heterodoxy in mean attire

May not one love, not craving to be beloved?

People with whom a mute conformity is as good as worship

Prayer for an object is the cajolery of an idol

Rebellion against society and advocacy of humanity run counter

Small things producing great consequences

Fine eye for celestially directed consequences is ever haunted

Fretted by his relatives he cannot be much of a giant

Heights of humour beyond laughter

Irony provoked his laughter more than fun

Irritability at the intrusion of past disputes

Once called her beautiful; his praise had given her beauty

Passion is not invariably love

People is one of your Radical big words that burst at a query

Scotchman's metaphysics; you know nothing clear

The slavery of the love of a woman chained

The turn will come to us as to others—and go

The language of party is eloquent

The defensive is perilous policy in war

The healthy only are fit to live

The system is cursed by nature, and that means by heaven

The world without him would be heavy matter

The weighty and the trivial contended

The rider's too heavy for the horse in England

The greater wounds do not immediately convince us of our fate

The people always wait for the winner

The defensive is perilous policy in war

The family view is everlastingly the shopkeeper's

The infant candidate delights in his honesty

The tragedy of the mirror is one for a woman to write

Their hearts are eaten up by property

Their not caring to think at all

There is no step backward in life

There may be women who think as well as feel; I don't know them

There is no first claim

There's nothing like a metaphor for an evasion

They may know how to make themselves happy in their climate

They have their thinking done for them

They're always having to retire and always hissing

Thirst for the haranguing of crowds

This girl was pliable only to service, not to grief

Those whose humour consists of a readiness to laugh

Those happy men who enjoy perceptions without opinions

Threatened powerful drugs for weak stomachs

Times when an example is needed by brave men

To beg the vote and wink the bribe

Tongue flew, thought followed

Too many time-servers rot the State

Trust no man Still, this man may be better than that man

Unanimous verdicts from a jury of temporary impressions

Use your religion like a drug

Virtue of impatience

We do not see clearly when we are trying to deceive

We women can read men by their power to love

We could row and ride and fish and shoot, and breed largely

We dare not be weak if we would

We were unarmed, and the spectacle was distressing

We can't hope to have what should be

We have a system, not planned but grown

We are chiefly led by hope

We're treated like old-fashioned ornaments!

Welcomed and lured on an adversary to wild outhitting

Well, sir, we must sell our opium

What ninnies call Nature in books

When he's a Christian instead of a Churchman

Where love exists there is goodness

Who cannot talk!—but who can?

Without a single intimation that he loathed the task

Wives are only an item in the list, and not the most important

Women don't care uncommonly for the men who love them

Women must not be judging things out of their sphere

Won't do to be taking in reefs on a lee-shore

Wonderment that one of her sex should have ideas

Wooing a good man for his friendship

World cannot pardon a breach of continuity

You are not married, you are simply chained

You're talking to me, not to a gallery

THE TRAGIC COMEDIANS, V1 [GM#67][GM67V10.TXT]4461

Barriers are for those who cannot fly

Be good and dull, and please everybody

Centres of polished barbarism known as aristocratic societies

Clotilde fenced, which is half a confession

Comparisons will thrust themselves on minds disordered

Compromise is virtual death

Conservative, whose astounded state paralyzes his wrath

Creatures that wait for circumstances to bring the change

Dissent rings out finely, and approval is a feeble murmur

Do you judge of heroes as of lesser men?

Empanelled to deliver verdicts upon the ways of women

Fantastical

Finishing touches to the negligence

Gone to pieces with an injured lover's babble

Gradations appear to be unknown to you

He had to go, he must, he has to be always going

He stormed her and consented to be beaten

His violent earnestness, his imperial self-confidence

I have learnt as much from light literature as from heavy

I would wait till he flung you off, and kneel to you

If you have this creative soul, be the slave of your creature

Imagination she has, for a source of strength in the future days

Looking on him was listening

Love the difficulty better than the woman

Metaphysician's treatise on Nature: a torch to see the sunrise

Music in Italy? Amorous and martial, brainless and monotonous

Not much esteem for non-professional actresses

Pact between cowardice and comfort under the title of expediency

Philosophy skimmed, and realistic romances deep-sounded

Polished barbarism

Scorned him for listening to the hesitations (hers)

She felt in him a maker of facts

Strength in love is the sole sincerity

The brainless in Art and in Statecraft

The way is clear: we have only to take the step

The worst of omens is delay

Time and strength run to waste in retarding the inevitable

Time is due to us, and the minutes are our gold slipping away

To have no sympathy with the playful mind is not to have a mind

Two wishes make a will

Venerated by his followers, well hated by his enemies

Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?

Win you—temperately, let us hope; by storm, if need be

World voluntarily opens a path to those who step determinedly

THE TRAGIC COMEDIANS, V2 [GM#68][GM68V10.TXT]4462

Above all things I detest the writing for money

Beginning to have a movement to kiss the whip

Dignitary, and he passed under the bondage of that position

Giant Vanity urged Giant Energy to make use of Giant Duplicity

Hesitating strangeness that sometimes gathers during absences

His apparent cynicism is sheer irritability

I give my self, I do not sell

Night has little mercy for the self-reproachful

Not in a situation that could bear of her blaming herself

O for yesterday!

Professional widows

Self-consoled when they are not self-justified

Want of courage is want of sense

We shall not be rich—nor poor

Work of extravagance upon perceptibly plain matter

A tragic comedian: that is, a grand pretender, a self-deceiver

At the age of forty, men that love love rootedly

Hosts of men are of the simple order of the comic

Men in love are children with their mistresses

Providence and her parents were not forgiven

She ran through delusion and delusion, exhausting each

Trick for killing time without hurting him

Weak souls are much moved by having the pathos on their side

A witty woman is a treasure; a witty Beauty is a power

At war with ourselves, means the best happiness we can have

Beauty is rare; luckily is it rare

Between love grown old and indifference ageing to love

But they were a hopeless couple, they were so friendly

Charitable mercifulness; better than sentimental ointment

Dedicated to the putrid of the upper circle

Dreaded as a scourge, hailed as a refreshment (Scandalsheet)

Elderly martyr for the advancement of his juniors

Favour can't help coming by rotation

Flashes bits of speech that catch men in their unguarded corner

For 'tis Ireland gives England her soldiers, her generals too

Get back what we give

Goodish sort of fellow; good horseman, good shot, good character

Grossly unlike in likeness (portraits)

He had by nature a tarnishing eye that cast discolouration

He had neat phrases, opinions in packets

He was not a weaver of phrases in distress

He's good from end to end, and beats a Christian hollow (a hog)

Her final impression likened him to a house locked up and empty

Herself, content to be dull if he might shine

His gaze and one of his ears, if not the pair, were given

How immensely nature seems to prefer men to women!

Human nature to feel an interest in the dog that has bitten you

I have and hold—you shall hunger and covet

Idea is the only vital breath

If I'm struck, I strike back

Inclined to act hesitation in accepting the aid she sought

Lengthened term of peace bred maggots in the heads of the people

Loathing for speculation

Mare would do, and better than a dozen horses

Matter that is not nourishing to brains

Music was resumed to confuse the hearing of the eavesdroppers

Needed support of facts, and feared them

O self! self! self!

Or where you will, so that's in Ireland

Our bravest, our best, have an impulse to run

Perused it, and did not recognize herself in her language

Pride in being always myself

Procrastination and excessive scrupulousness

Read deep and not be baffled by inconsistencies

Service of watering the dry and drying the damp (Whiskey)

She had a fatal attraction for antiques

She marries, and it's the end of her sparkling

Smart remarks have their measured distances

Something of the hare in us when the hounds are full cry

Swell and illuminate citizen prose to a princely poetic

That is life—when we dare death to live!

That's the natural shamrock, after the artificial

The burlesque Irishman can't be caricatured

The well of true wit is truth itself

They create by stoppage a volcano

This love they rattle about and rave about

Tooth that received a stone when it expected candy

We live alone, and do not much feel it till we are visited

Weather and women have some resemblance they say

What a woman thinks of women, is the test of her nature

Where she appears, the first person falls to second rank

You are entreated to repress alarm

You beat me with the fists, but my spirit is towering

DIANA OF THE CROSSWAYS, V2 [GM#72][GM72V10.TXT]4466

A kindly sense of superiority

By resisting, I made him a tyrant

Carry explosives and must particularly guard against sparks

Depending for dialogue upon perpetual fresh supplies of scandal

Dose he had taken was not of the sweetest

Friendship, I fancy, means one heart between two

He was the maddest of tyrants—a weak one

He, by insisting, made me a rebel

Her feelings—trustier guides than her judgement in this crisis

I do not see it, because I will not see it

Inducement to act the hypocrite before the hypocrite world

Insistency upon there being two sides to a case—to every case

Intrusion of the spontaneous on the stereotyped would clash

Irony that seemed to spring from aversion

It is the best of signs when women take to her

Mistaking of her desires for her reasons

Mutual deference

Never fell far short of outstripping the sturdy pedestrian Time

Observation is the most, enduring of the pleasures of life

One might build up a respectable figure in negatives

Openly treated; all had an air of being on the surface

Owner of such a woman, and to lose her!

Paint themselves pure white, to the obliteration of minor spots

Quixottry is agreeable reading, a silly performance

Real happiness is a state of dulness

Reluctant to take the life of flowers for a whim

Rewards, together with the expectations, of the virtuous

Sleepless night

Smoky receptacle cherishing millions

Terrible decree, that all must act who would prevail

Vowed never more to repeat that offence to his patience

Was not one of the order whose Muse is the Public Taste

Wife and no wife, a prisoner in liberty

Women are taken to be the second thoughts of the Creator

World is ruthless, dear friends, because the world is hypocrite

World prefers decorum to honesty

Yawns coming alarmingly fast, in the place of ideas

Beautiful women in her position provoke an intemperateness

Capricious potentate whom they worship

Circumstances may combine to make a whisper as deadly as a blow

Compared the governing of the Irish to the management of a horse

Could have designed this gabbler for the mate

Debit was eloquent, he was unanswerable

Explaining of things to a dull head

Happy in privation and suffering if simply we can accept beauty

He gained much by claiming little

Her peculiar tenacity of the sense of injury

His ridiculous equanimity

Keep passion sober, a trotter in harness

Moral indignation is ever consolatory

Omnipotence, which is in the image of themselves

Strain to see in the utter dark, and nothing can come of that

Tendency to polysyllabic phraseology

The blindness of Fortune is her one merit

They have no sensitiveness, we have too much

Top and bottom sin is cowardice

Touch him with my hand, before he passed from our sight

We must fawn in society

We never see peace but in the features of the dead

A high wind will make a dead leaf fly like a bird

Beware the silent one of an assembly!

Brittle is foredoomed

Common sense is the secret of every successful civil agitation

Its glee at a catastrophe; its poor stock of mercy

Money is of course a rough test of virtue

Salt of earth, to whom their salt must serve for nourishment

Sentimentality puts up infant hands for absolution

She herself did not like to be seen eating in public

Slightest taste for comic analysis that does not tumble to farce

The greed of gain is our volcano

The man had to be endured, like other doses in politics

Vagrant compassionateness of sentimentalists

What the world says, is what the wind says

Without those consolatory efforts, useless between men

Accidents are the specific for averting the maladies of age

Accounting for it, is not the same as excusing

Assist in our small sphere; not come mouthing to the footlights

Avoid the position that enforces publishing

Capacity for thinking should precede the act of writing

Chaste are wattled in formalism and throned in sourness

Could the best of men be simply—a woman's friend?

Enthusiasm has the privilege of not knowing monotony

Envy of the man of positive knowledge

Expectations dupe us, not trust

Externally soft and polished, internally hard and relentless

Fiddle harmonics on the sensual strings

Heart to keep guard and bury the bones you tossed him

Holding to the refusal, for the sake of consistency

I don't count them against women (moods)

I never knew till this morning the force of No in earnest

I wanted a hero

I'm in love with everything she wishes! I've got the habit

If he had valued you half a grain less, he might have won you

Infatuated men argue likewise, and scandal does not move them

It is the devil's masterstroke to get us to accuse him

Let never Necessity draw the bow of our weakness

Literature is a good stick and a bad horse

Material good reverses its benefits the more nearly we clasp it

Mistake of the world is to think happiness possible to the sense

Nothing is a secret that has been spoken

Nothing the body suffers that the soul may not profit by

Now far from him under the failure of an effort to come near

Our weakness is the swiftest dog to hunt us

Question the gain of such an expenditure of energy

Rare men of honour who can command their passion

Read with his eyes when you meet him this morning

Sham spiritualism

She had sunk her intelligence in her sensations

Sympathy is for proving, not prating

The debts we owe ourselves are the hardest to pay

Trial of her beauty of a woman in a temper

We don't know we are in halves

We're a peaceful people, but 'ware who touches us

Weighty little word—woman's native watchdog and guardian (No!)

When we despair or discolour things, it is our senses in revolt

Who can really think, and not think hopefully?

Who venerate when they love

With that I sail into the dark

Women with brains, moreover, are all heartless

Admiration of an enemy or oppressor doing great deeds

Aristocratic assumption of licence

But what is it we do (excepting cricket, of course)

Consent of circumstances

Continued trust in the man—is the alternative of despair

Critical fashion of intimates who know as well as hear

Despises hostile elements and goes unpunished

Dithyrambic inebriety of narration

Feminine; coming when she willed and flying when wanted

Fire smoothes the creases

Frankness as an armour over wariness

Half a dozen dozen left

Hard to bear, at times unbearable

Haremed opinion of the unfitness of women

He neared her, wooing her; and she assented

He never acknowledged a trouble, he dispersed it

He prattled, in the happy ignorance of compulsion

He sinks terribly when he sinks at all

Heathen vindictiveness declaring itself holy

If we are really for Nature, we are not lawless

In bottle if not on draught (oratory)

In the pay of our doctors

Intrusion of hard material statements, facts

Kelts, as they are called, can't and won't forgive injuries

Man with a material object in aim, is the man of his object

Nature and Law never agreed

Nature's logic, Nature's voice, for self-defence

Next door to the Last Trump

Obeseness is the most sensitive of our ailments

Once out of the rutted line, you are food for lion and jackal

One wants a little animation in a husband

People of a provocative prosperity

Self-deceiver may be a persuasive deceiver of another

She was not his match—To speak would be to succumb

Slap and pinch and starve our appetites

Smallest of our gratifications in life could give a happy tone

Smothered in its pudding-bed of the grotesque (obesity)

Snuffle of hypocrisy in her prayer

State of feverish patriotism

Statistics are according to their conjurors

Subterranean recess for Nature against the Institutions of Man

Tale, which leaves the man's mind at home

The effects of the infinitely little

The old confession, that we cannot cook(The English)

They do not live; they are engines

They helped her to feel at home with herself

Thought of differences with him caused frightful apprehensions

Unshamed exuberant male has found the sweet reverse in his mate

We cannot relinquish an idea that was ours

We've all a parlous lot too much pulpit in us

ONE OF OUR CONQUERORS, V2 [GM#78][GM78V10.TXT]4472

Ask not why, where reason never was

Cover of action as an escape from perplexity

Honest creatures who will not accept a lift from fiction

Judgeing of the destiny of man by the fate of individuals

Memory inspired by the sensations

Nature could at a push be eloquent to defend the guilty

Satirist too devotedly loves his lash to be a persuasive teacher

Slave of existing conventions

Startled by the criticism in laughter

The impalpable which has prevailing weight

There is little to be learnt when a little is known

They kissed coldly, pressed a hand, said good night

Who enjoyed simple things when commanding the luxuries

ONE OF OUR CONQUERORS, V3 [GM#79][GM79V10.TXT]4473

Belief in the narrative by promoting nausea in the audience

Claim for equality puts an end to the priceless privileges

Consent to take life as it is

Dialogue between Nature and Circumstance

Dudley was not gifted to read behind words and looks

Exuberant anticipatory trustfulness

Fell to chatting upon the nothings agreeably and seriously

Greater our successes, the greater the slaves we become

He never explained

How Success derides Ambition!

If only been intellectually a little flexible in his morality

Naturally as deceived as he wished to be

Official wrath at sound of footfall or a fancied one

Optional marriages, broken or renewed every seven years

Pessimy is invulnerable

Repeatedly, in contempt of the disgust of iteration

Satirist is an executioner by profession

Semblance of a tombstone lady beside her lord

The banquet to be fervently remembered, should smoke

The homage we pay him flatters us

We must have some excuse, if we would keep to life

ONE OF OUR CONQUERORS, V4 [GM#80][GM80V10.TXT]4474

All of us an ermined owl within us to sit in judgement

Cannot be any goodness unless it is a practiced goodness

Eminently servile is the tolerated lawbreaker

Half designingly permitted her trouble to be seen

Happy the woman who has not more to speak

If we are robbed, we ask, How came we by the goods?

Let but the throb be kept for others—That is the one secret

Love must needs be an egoism

Not to go hunting and fawning for alliances

Portrait of himself by the artist

Put into her woman's harness of the bit and the blinkers

Share of foulness to them that are for scouring the chamber

She disdained to question the mouth which had bitten her

The face of a stopped watch

The worst of it is, that we remember

To do nothing, is the wisdom of those who have seen fools perish

We have come to think we have a claim upon her gratitude

Whimpering fits you said we enjoy and must have in books

ONE OF OUR CONQUERORS, V5 [GM#81][GM81V10.TXT]4475

An incomprehensible world indeed at the bottom and at the top

Arrest the enemy by vociferations of persistent prayer

Country prizing ornaments higher than qualities

Death is our common cloak; but Calamity individualizes

How little we mean to do harm when we do an injury

Nation's half made-up of the idle and the servants of the idle

No companionship save with the wound they nurse

Not always the right thing to do the right thing

The night went past as a year

Universal censor's angry spite

ONE OF OUR CONQUERORS, ENTIRE [GM#82][GM82V10.TXT]4476

Admiration of an enemy or oppressor doing great deeds

All of us an ermined owl within us to sit in judgement

An incomprehensible world indeed at the bottom and at the top

Aristocratic assumption of licence

Arrest the enemy by vociferations of persistent prayer

Ask not why, where reason never was

Belief in the narrative by promoting nausea in the audience

But what is it we do (excepting cricket, of course)

Cannot be any goodness unless it is a practiced goodness

Claim for equality puts an end to the priceless privileges

Consent of circumstances

Consent to take life as it is

Continued trust in the man—is the alternative of despair

Country prizing ornaments higher than qualities

Cover of action as an escape from perplexity

Critical fashion of intimates who know as well as hear

Death is our common cloak; but Calamity individualizes

Despises hostile elements and goes unpunished

Dialogue between Nature and Circumstance

Dithyrambic inebriety of narration

Dudley was not gifted to read behind words and looks

Eminently servile is the tolerated lawbreaker

Exuberant anticipatory trustfulness

Fell to chatting upon the nothings agreeably and seriously

Feminine; coming when she willed and flying when wanted

Fire smoothes the creases

Frankness as an armour over wariness

Greater our successes, the greater the slaves we become

Half designingly permitted her trouble to be seen

Half a dozen dozen left

Happy the woman who has not more to speak

Hard to bear, at times unbearable

Haremed opinion of the unfitness of women

He sinks terribly when he sinks at all

He never acknowledged a trouble, he dispersed it

He never explained

He neared her, wooing her; and she assented

He prattled, in the happy ignorance of compulsion

Heathen vindictiveness declaring itself holy

Honest creatures who will not accept a lift from fiction

How little we mean to do harm when we do an injury

How Success derides Ambition!

If only been intellectually a little flexible in his morality

If we are robbed, we ask, How came we by the goods?

If we are really for Nature, we are not lawless

In the pay of our doctors

In bottle if not on draught (oratory)

Intrusion of hard material statements, facts

Judgeing of the destiny of man by the fate of individuals

Kelts, as they are called, can't and won't forgive injuries

Let but the throb be kept for others—That is the one secret

Love must needs be an egoism

Man with a material object in aim, is the man of his object

Memory inspired by the sensations

Nation's half made-up of the idle and the servants of the idle

Naturally as deceived as he wished to be

Nature and Law never agreed

Nature could at a push be eloquent to defend the guilty

Nature's logic, Nature's voice, for self-defence

Next door to the Last Trump

No companionship save with the wound they nurse

Not to go hunting and fawning for alliances

Not always the right thing to do the right thing

Obeseness is the most sensitive of our ailments

Official wrath at sound of footfall or a fancied one

Once out of the rutted line, you are food for lion and jackal

One wants a little animation in a husband

Optional marriages, broken or renewed every seven years

People of a provocative prosperity

Pessimy is invulnerable

Portrait of himself by the artist

Put into her woman's harness of the bit and the blinkers

Repeatedly, in contempt of the disgust of iteration

Satirist is an executioner by profession

Satirist too devotedly loves his lash to be a persuasive teacher

Self-deceiver may be a persuasive deceiver of another

Semblance of a tombstone lady beside her lord

Share of foulness to them that are for scouring the chamber

She was not his match—To speak would be to succumb

She disdained to question the mouth which had bitten her

Slap and pinch and starve our appetites

Slave of existing conventions

Smallest of our gratifications in life could give a happy tone

Smothered in its pudding-bed of the grotesque (obesity)

Snuffle of hypocrisy in her prayer

Startled by the criticism in laughter

State of feverish patriotism

Statistics are according to their conjurors

Subterranean recess for Nature against the Institutions of Man

Tale, which leaves the man's mind at home

The banquet to be fervently remembered, should smoke

The homage we pay him flatters us

The effects of the infinitely little

The night went past as a year

The old confession, that we cannot cook(The English)

The worst of it is, that we remember

The face of a stopped watch

The impalpable which has prevailing weight

There is little to be learnt when a little is known

They helped her to feel at home with herself

They kissed coldly, pressed a hand, said good night

They do not live; they are engines

Thought of differences with him caused frightful apprehensions

To do nothing, is the wisdom of those who have seen fools perish

Universal censor's angry spite

Unshamed exuberant male has found the sweet reverse in his mate

We have come to think we have a claim upon her gratitude

We must have some excuse, if we would keep to life

We cannot relinquish an idea that was ours

We've all a parlous lot too much pulpit in us

Whimpering fits you said we enjoy and must have in books

Who enjoyed simple things when commanding the luxuries

LORD ORMONT AND HIS AMINTA, V1 [GM#83][GM83V10.TXT]4477

A female free-thinker is one of Satan's concubines

A free-thinker startles him as a kind of demon

All that Matey and Browny were forbidden to write they looked

Cajoled like a twenty-year-old yahoo at college

Could not understand enthusiasm for the schoolmaster's career

Curious thing would be if curious things should fail to happen

Few men can forbear to tell a spicy story of their friends

He began ambitiously—It's the way at the beginning

He loathed a skulker

I'm for a rational Deity

Loathing of artifice to raise emotion

Nevertheless, inclinations are an infidelity

Published Memoirs indicate the end of a man's activity

The despot is alert at every issue, to every chance

Things were lumpish and gloomy that day of the week

We shall want a war to teach the country the value of courage

You'll have to guess at half of everything he tells you

You're going to be men, meaning something better than women

LORD ORMONT AND HIS AMINTA, V2 [GM#84][GM84V10.TXT]4478

A woman, and would therefore listen to nonsense

And not be beaten by an acknowledged defeat

Botched mendings will only make them worse

Convincing themselves that they impersonate sagacity

I have all the luxuries—enough to loathe them

Lawyers hold the keys of the great world

Naked original ideas, are acceptable at no time

Not daring risk of office by offending the taxpayer

This female talk of the eternities

To know how to take a licking, that wins in the end

To males, all ideas are female until they are made facts

We cannot, men or woman, control the heart in sleep at night

Who cries, Come on, and prays his gods you won't

LORD ORMONT AND HIS AMINTA, V3 [GM#85][GM85V10.TXT]4479

As well ask (women) how a battle-field concerns them!

Boys who can appreciate brave deeds are capable of doing them

Careful not to smell of his office

Chose to conceive that he thought abstractedly

Consign discussion to silence with the cynical closure

Convictions we store—wherewith to shape our destinies

Death is only the other side of the ditch

Didn't say a word No use in talking about feelings

Enthusiast, when not lyrical, is perilously near to boring

He took small account of the operations of the feelings

Her duel with Time

Hopeless task of defending a woman from a woman

I hate old age It changes you so

Ignorance roaring behind a mask of sarcasm

Men bore the blame, though the women were rightly punished

Never nurse an injury, great or small

No love can be without jealousy

Old age is a prison wall between us and young people

Orderliness, from which men are privately exempt

People were virtuous in past days: they counted their sinners

Professional Puritans

Regularity of the grin of dentistry

That pit of one of their dead silences

The beat of a heart with a dread like a shot in it

The good life gone lives on in the mind

The shots hit us behind you

The spending, never harvesting, world

The terrible aggregate social woman

Venus of nature was melting into a Venus of art

LORD ORMONT AND HIS AMINTA, V4 [GM#86][GM86V10.TXT]4480

A bird that won't roast or boil or stew

Acting is not of the high class which conceals the art

Ah! we fall into their fictions

Bad luck's not repeated every day Keep heart for the good

Began the game of Pull

By nature incapable of asking pardon

Consciousness of some guilt when vowing itself innocent

Having contracted the fatal habit of irony

He had to shake up wrath over his grievances

Her vehement fighting against facts

His aim to win the woman acknowledged no obstacle in the means

His restored sense of possession

How to compromise the matter for the sake of peace?

I could be in love with her cruelty, if only I had her near me

Men who believe that there is a virtue in imprecations

Not men of brains, but the men of aptitudes

Not the indignant and the frozen, but the genially indifferent

One is a fish to her hook; another a moth to her light

One night, and her character's gone

Passion added to a bowl of reason makes a sophist's mess

Policy seems to petrify their minds

Rage of a conceited schemer tricked

Respect one another's affectations

To time and a wife it is no disgrace for a man to bend

Uncommon unprogressiveness

When duelling flourished on our land, frail women powerful

Where heart weds mind, or nature joins intellect

With what little wisdom the world is governed

LORD ORMONT AND HIS AMINTA, V5 [GM#87][GM87V10.TXT]4481

Affected misapprehensions

Any excess pushes to craziness

Bad laws are best broken

Being in heart and mind the brother to the sister with women

Bounds of his intelligence closed their four walls

Boys, of course—but men, too!

But had sunk to climb on a firmer footing

Challenged him to lead up to her desired stormy scene

Could we—we might be friends

Death is always next door

Desire of it destroyed it

Detestable feminine storms enveloping men weak enough

Distaste for all exercise once pleasurable

Divided lovers in presence

Enthusiasm struck and tightened the loose chord of scepticism

Exult in imagination of an escape up to the moment of capture

Greatest of men; who have to learn from the loss of the woman

He gave a slight sign of restiveness, and was allowed to go

He had gone, and the day lived again for both of them

I look on the back of life

I married a cook She expects a big appetite

I want no more, except to be taught to work

If the world is hostile we are not to blame it

Increase of dissatisfaction with the more she got

Learn—principally not to be afraid of ideas

Look well behind

Lucky accidents are anticipated only by fools

Magnify an offence in the ratio of our vanity

Man who helps me to read the world and men as they are

Meant to vanquish her with the dominating patience

Napoleon's treatment of women is excellent example

Necessity's offspring

One has to feel strong in a delicate position

Our love and labour are constantly on trial

Perhaps inspire him, if he would let her breathe

Person in another world beyond this world of blood

Practical for having an addiction to the palpable

Screams of an uninjured lady

Selfishness and icy inaccessibility to emotion

She had a thirsting mind

She had to be the hypocrite or else—leap

Silence was doing the work of a scourge

Smile she had in reserve for serviceable persons

Snatch her from a possessor who forfeited by undervaluing her

So says the minute Years are before you

The next ten minutes will decide our destinies

The woman side of him

There are women who go through life not knowing love

There is no history of events below the surface

They want you to show them what they 'd like the world to be

Things are not equal

Titles showered on the women who take free breath of air

Violent summons to accept, which is a provocation to deny

We don't go together into a garden of roses

Why he enjoyed the privilege of seeing, and was not beside her

Women are happier enslaved

World against us It will not keep us from trying to serve

Years are the teachers of the great rocky natures

THE AMAZING MARRIAGE, V1[GM#89][GM89V10.TXT]4483

Accounting his tight blue tail coat and brass buttons a victory

Amused after their tiresome work of slaughter

And her voice, against herself, was for England

As for comparisons, they are flowers thrown into the fire

As if the age were the injury!

Brains will beat Grim Death if we have enough of them

But a great success is full of temptations

Could affect me then, without being flung at me

Country enclosed us to make us feel snug in our own importance

Did not know the nature of an oath, and was dismissed

Dogs' eyes have such a sick look of love

Drank to show his disdain of its powers

Earl of Cressett fell from his coach-box in a fit

Father used to say, four hours for a man, six for a woman

Fond, as they say, of his glass and his girl

Found that he 'cursed better upon water'

Good-bye to sorrow for a while—Keep your tears for the living

Had got the trick of lying, through fear of telling the truth

Hard enough for a man to be married to a fool

He was a figure on a horse, and naught when off it

Her intimacy with a man old enough to be her grandfather

I hate sleep: I hate anything that robs me of my will

Innocence and uncleanness may go together

It was an honest buss, but dear at ten thousand

Limit was two bottles of port wine at a sitting

Little boy named Tommy Wedger said he saw a dead body go by

Mighty Highnesses who had only smelt the outside edge of battle

No enemy's shot is equal to a weak heart in the act

Not afford to lose, and a disposition free of the craving to win

Past, future, and present, the three weights upon humanity

Put material aid at a lower mark than gentleness

Puzzle to connect the foregoing and the succeeding

Seventy, when most men are reaping and stacking their sins

Should we leave a good deed half done

Showery, replied the admiral, as his cocked-hat was knocked off

So indulgent when they drop their blot on a lady's character

So much for morality in those days!

Steady shakes them

Sweetest on earth to her was to be prized by her brother

They could have pardoned her a younger lover

Thus are we stricken by the days of our youth

Truth is, they have taken a stain from the life they lead

Very little parleying between determined men

Warm, is hardly the word—Winter's warm on skates

Woman finds herself on board a rudderless vessel

Writer society delights in, to show what it is composed of

You are to imagine that they know everything

You saw nothing but handkerchiefs out all over the theatre

THE AMAZING MARRIAGE, V2[GM#90][GM90V10.TXT]4484

Cock-sure has crowed low by sunset

Drink is their death's river, rolling them on helpless

Father and she were aware of one another without conversing

Fun, at any cost, is the one object worth a shot

He was the prisoner of his word

Heartily she thanked the girl for the excuse to cry

Hearts that make one soul do not separately count their gifts

Life is the burlesque of young dreams

Make a girl drink her tears, if they ain't to be let fall

On a morning when day and night were made one by fog

Poetic romance is delusion

Push me to condense my thoughts to a tight ball

She endured meekly, when there was no meekness

She seemed really a soaring bird brought down by the fowler

She stood with a dignity that the word did not express

There is no driver like stomach

Touch sin and you accommodate yourself to its vileness

You played for gain, and that was a licenced thieving

THE AMAZING MARRIAGE, V3[GM#91][GM91V10.TXT]4485

Always the shout for more produced it ("News")

Anecdotist to slaughter families for the amusement

Call of the great world's appetite for more (Invented news)

Enemy's laugh is a bugle blown in the night

He wants the whip; ought to have had it regularly

Magnificent in generosity; he had little humaneness

She was thrust away because because he had offended

Women treat men as their tamed housemates

THE AMAZING MARRIAGE, V4[GM#92][GM92V10.TXT]4486

Be the woman and have the last word!

Charity that supplied the place of justice was not thanked

Courage to grapple with his pride and open his heart was wanting

Deeds only are the title

Detested titles, invented by the English

He did not vastly respect beautiful women

Look backward only to correct an error of conduct in future

Meditations upon the errors of the general man, as a cover

Not to be the idol, to have an aim of our own

Objects elevated even by a decayed world have their magnetism

One idea is a bullet

Quick to understand, she is in the quick of understanding

Religion is the one refuge from women

Scorn titles which did not distinguish practical offices

The divinely damnable naked truth won't wear ornaments

The embraced respected woman

The habit of the defensive paralyzes will

The idol of the hour is the mob's wooden puppet

Their sneer withers

Tighter than ever I was tight I'll be to-night

With one idea, we see nothing—nothing but itself

You want me to flick your indecision

THE AMAZING MARRIAGE, V5[GM#93][GM93V10.TXT]4487

A dumb tongue can be a heavy liar

Advised not to push at a shut gate

As faith comes—no saying how; one swears by them

Bent double to gather things we have tossed away

Contempt of military weapons and ridicule of the art of war

Everlastingly in this life the better pays for the worse

Fatal habit of superiority stopped his tongue

Festive board provided for them by the valour of their fathers

Flung him, pitied him, and passed on

Foe can spoil my face; he beats me if he spoils my temper

He had wealth for a likeness of strength

Himself in the worn old surplice of the converted rake

Ideas in gestation are the dullest matter you can have

Injury forbids us to be friends again

Lies are usurers' coin we pay for ten thousand per cent

Love of pleasure keeps us blind children

Never forgave an injury without a return blow for it

Pebble may roll where it likes—not so the costly jewel

Reflection upon a statement is its lightning in advance

Religion condones offences: Philosophy has no forgiveness

Sensitiveness to the sting, which is not allowed to poison

Strengthening the backbone for a bend of the knee in calamity

Style is the mantle of greatness

That sort of progenitor is your "permanent aristocracy"

There's not an act of a man's life lies dead behind him

Those who have the careless chatter, the ready laugh

Those who know little and dread much

To most men women are knaves or ninnies

Wakening to the claims of others—Youth's infant conscience

We make our taskmasters of those to whom we have done a wrong

We shall go together; we shall not have to weep for one another

Wooing her with dog's eyes instead of words

Wooing her with dog's eyes instead of words

Writer society delights in, to show what it is composed of

You played for gain, and that was a licenced thieving

You saw nothing but handkerchiefs out all over the theatre

You are to imagine that they know everything

You want me to flick your indecision

CELT AND SAXON, V1 [GM#95][GM95V10.TXT]4489

A contented Irishman scarcely seems my countryman

A country of compromise goes to pieces at the first cannon-shot

A lady's company-smile

A superior position was offered her by her being silent

And it's one family where the dog is pulled by the collar

Arch-devourer Time

As if she had never heard him previously enunciate the formula

As secretive as they are sensitive

Be politic and give her elbow-room for her natural angles

Becoming air of appropriation that made it family history

Constitutionally discontented

Decency's a dirty petticoat in the Garden of Innocence

England's the foremost country of the globe

Enjoys his luxuries and is ashamed of his laziness

Fires in the grates went through the ceremony of warming nobody

Foist on you their idea of your idea at the moment

Grimaces at a government long-nosed to no purpose

He judged of others by himself

Hear victorious lawlessness appealing solemnly to God the law

Her aspect suggested the repose of a winter landscape

Here, where he both wished and wished not to be

I 'm the warming pan, as legitimately I should be

I detest enthusiasm

I never saw out of a doll-shop, and never saw there

Indirect communication with heaven

Ireland 's the sore place of England

Irishman there is a barrow trolling a load of grievances

Irony in him is only eulogy standing on its head

Lack of precise words admonished him of the virtue of silence

Married at forty, and I had to take her shaped as she was

Men must fight: the law is only a quieter field for them

Mika! you did it in cold blood?

No man can hear the words which prove him a prophet (quietly)

Not so much read a print as read the imprinting on themselves

Not to bother your wits, but leave the puzzle to the priest

Old houses are doomed to burnings

Our lawyers have us inside out, like our physicians

Philip was a Spartan for keeping his feelings under

Taste a wound from the lightest touch, and they nurse the venom

That fiery dragon, a beautiful woman with brains

The race is for domestic peace, my boy

We're all of us hit at last, and generally by our own weapon

We're smitten to-day in our hearts and our pockets

Welsh blood is queer blood

Where one won't and can't, poor t' other must

Winds of panic are violently engaged in occupying the vacuum

With a frozen fish of admirable principles for wife

Withdrew into the entrenchments of contempt

You'll tell her you couldn't sit down in her presence undressed

CELT AND SAXON, V2 [GM#96][GM96V10.TXT]4490

A whisper of cajolery in season is often the secret

Ah! we're in the enemy's country now

Beautiful women may believe themselves beloved

Could peruse platitudes upon that theme with enthusiasm

Foamy top is offered and gulped as equivalent to an idea

Hard men have sometimes a warm affection for dogs

He was not alive for his own pleasure

Hug the hatred they packed up among their bundles

I baint done yet

Irishmen will never be quite sincere

Loudness of the interrogation precluded thought of an answer

Love the children of Erin, when not fretted by them

Loves his poets, can almost understand what poetry means

May lull themselves with their wakefulness

Never forget that old Ireland is weeping

Not every chapter can be sunshine

Not likely to be far behind curates in besieging an heiress

Not the great creatures we assume ourselves to be

Nursing of a military invalid awakens tenderer anxieties

Paying compliments and spoiling a game!

Secret of the art was his meaning what he said

Suggestion of possible danger might more dangerous than silence

Tears of men sink plummet-deep

Tears of such a man have more of blood than of water in them

They laugh, but they laugh extinguishingly

Time, whose trick is to turn corners of unanticipated sharpness

Twisted by a nature that would not allow of open eyes

With death; we'd rather not, because of a qualm

Woman's precious word No at the sentinel's post, and alert

Would like to feel he was doing a bit of good

FARINA [GM#98][GM98V10.TXT]4492

A generous enemy is a friend on the wrong side

All are friends who sit at table

Be what you seem, my little one

Bed was a rock of refuge and fortified defence

Civil tongue and rosy smiles sweeten even sour wine

Dangerous things are uttered after the third glass

Everywhere the badge of subjection is a poor stomach

Face betokening the perpetual smack of lemon

Gratitude never was a woman's gift

It was harder to be near and not close

Loving in this land: they all go mad, straight off

Never reckon on womankind for a wise act

Self-incense

Sign that the evil had reached from pricks to pokes

So are great deeds judged when the danger's past (as easy)

Soft slumber of a strength never yet called forth

Suspicion was her best witness

Sweet treasure before which lies a dragon sleeping

We like well whatso we have done good work for

Weak reeds who are easily vanquished and never overcome

Weak stomach is certainly more carnally virtuous than a full one

Wins everywhere back a reflection of its own kindliness

CASE OF GENERAL OPEL [GM#99][GM99V10.TXT]4493

Can believe a woman to be any age when her cheeks are tinted

Modest are the most easily intoxicated when they sip at vanity

Nature is not of necessity always roaring

Only to be described in the tongue of auctioneers

Respected the vegetable yet more than he esteemed the flower

She seems honest, and that is the most we can hope of girls

Spare me that word "female" as long as you live

The mildness of assured dictatorship

When we see our veterans tottering to their fall

THE TALE OF CHLOE [GM#100][GN00V10.TXT]4494

All flattery is at somebody's expense

Be philosophical, but accept your personal dues

But I leave it to you

Distrust us, and it is a declaration of war

Happiness in love is a match between ecstasy and compliance

If I do not speak of payment

Intellectual contempt of easy dupes

Invite indecision to exhaust their scruples

Is not one month of brightness as much as we can ask for?

No flattery for me at the expense of my sisters

Nothing desirable will you have which is not coveted

Primitive appetite for noise

She might turn out good, if well guarded for a time

The alternative is, a garter and the bedpost

They miss their pleasure in pursuing it

This mania of young people for pleasure, eternal pleasure

Wits, which are ordinarily less productive than land

THE HOUSE ON THE BEACH [GM#101][GN01V10.TXT]4495

Adversary at once offensive and helpless provokes brutality

Causes him to be popularly weighed

Distinguished by his not allowing himself to be provoked

Eccentric behaviour in trifles

Excited, glad of catastrophe if it but killed monotony

Generally he noticed nothing

Good jokes are not always good policy

I make a point of never recommending my own house

Indulged in their privilege of thinking what they liked

Infants are said to have their ideas, and why not young ladies?

Lend him your own generosity

Men love to boast of things nobody else has seen

Naughtily Australian and kangarooly

Not in love—She was only not unwilling to be in love

Rich and poor 's all right, if I'm rich and you're poor

She began to feel that this was life in earnest

She dealt in the flashes which connect ideas

She sought, by looking hard, to understand it better

Sunning itself in the glass of Envy

That which fine cookery does for the cementing of couples

The intricate, which she takes for the infinite

Tossed him from repulsion to incredulity, and so back

Two principal roads by which poor sinners come to a conscience

THE GENTLEMAN OF FIFTY [GM#102][GN02V10.TXT]4496

A wise man will not squander his laughter if he can help it

A woman is hurt if you do not confide to her your plans

Gentleman in a good state of preservation

Imparting the usual chorus of yesses to his own mind

In every difficulty, patience is a life-belt

Knew my friend to be one of the most absent-minded of men

Rapture of obliviousness

Telling her anything, she makes half a face in anticipation

When you have done laughing with her, you can laugh at her

THE SENTIMENTALISTS(PLAY) [GM#103][GN03V10.TXT]4497

A great oration may be a sedative

A male devotee is within an inch of a miracle

Above Nature, I tell him, or, we shall be very much below

As in all great oratory! The key of it is the pathos

Back from the altar to discover that she has chained herself

Cupid clipped of wing is a destructive parasite

Excess of a merit is a capital offence in morality

His idea of marriage is, the taking of the woman into custody

I am a discordant instrument I do not readily vibrate

I like him, I like him, of course, but I want to breathe

I who respect the state of marriage by refusing

Love and war have been compared—Both require strategy

Peace, I do pray, for the husband-haunted wife

Period of his life a man becomes too voraciously constant

Pitiful conceit in men

Rejoicing they have in their common agreement

Self-worship, which is often self-distrust

Suspects all young men and most young women

Their idol pitched before them on the floor

Were I chained, For liberty I would sell liberty

Woman descending from her ideal to the gross reality of man

Your devotion craves an enormous exchange

MISCELLANEOUS PROSE [GM#104][GN04V10.TXT]4498

A very doubtful benefit

Americans forgivingly remember, without mentioning

As becomes them, they do not look ahead

Charges of cynicism are common against all satirists

Fourth of the Georges

Here and there a plain good soul to whom he was affectionate

Holy images, and other miraculous objects are sold

It is well to learn manners without having them imposed on us

Men overweeningly in love with their creations

Must be the moralist in the satirist if satire is to strike

Not a page of his books reveals malevolence or a sneer

Petty concessions are signs of weakness to the unsatisfied

Statesman who stooped to conquer fact through fiction

The social world he looked at did not show him heroes

The exhaustion ensuing we named tranquillity

Utterance of generous and patriotic cries is not sufficient

We trust them or we crush them

We grew accustomed to periods of Irish fever

THE ENTIRE PG WORKS OF GEORGE MEREDITH [GM#106][GN06V10.TXT]4500

A young philosopher's an old fool!

A string of pearls: a woman who goes beyond that's in danger

A wound of the same kind that we are inflicting

A sixpence kindly meant is worth any crown-piece that's grudged

A share of pity for the objects she despised

A style of affable omnipotence about the wise youth

A dumb tongue can be a heavy liar

A male devotee is within an inch of a miracle

A night that had shivered repose

A madman gets madder when you talk reason to him

A youth who is engaged in the occupation of eating his heart

A bone in a boy's mind for him to gnaw and worry

A kindly sense of superiority

A high wind will make a dead leaf fly like a bird

A witty woman is a treasure; a witty Beauty is a power

A kind of anchorage in case of indiscretion

A tragic comedian: that is, a grand pretender, a self-deceiver

A great oration may be a sedative

A country of compromise goes to pieces at the first cannon-shot

A lady's company-smile

A superior position was offered her by her being silent

A whisper of cajolery in season is often the secret

A contented Irishman scarcely seems my countryman

A woman who has mastered sauces sits on the apex of civilization

A man who rejected medicine in extremity

A maker of Proverbs—what is he but a narrow mind wit

A dash of conventionalism makes the whole civilized world kin

A lover must have his delusions, just as a man must have a skin

A cloud of millinery shoots me off a mile from a woman

A tear would have overcome him—She had not wept

A fleet of South-westerly rainclouds had been met in mid-sky

A common age once, when he married her; now she had grown old

A fortress face; strong and massive, and honourable in ruin

A very doubtful benefit

A generous enemy is a friend on the wrong side

A woman's at the core of every plot man plotteth

A marriage without love is dishonour

A plunge into the deep is of little moment

A woman is hurt if you do not confide to her your plans

A wise man will not squander his laughter if he can help it

A woman rises to her husband. But a man is what he is

A stew's a stew, and not a boiling to shreds

A man to be trusted with the keys of anything

A bird that won't roast or boil or stew

A female free-thinker is one of Satan's concubines

A free-thinker startles him as a kind of demon

A woman, and would therefore listen to nonsense

Abject sense of the lack of a circumference

Above Nature, I tell him, or, we shall be very much below

Above all things I detest the writing for money

Absolute freedom could be the worst of perils

Accidents are the specific for averting the maladies of age

Accounting for it, is not the same as excusing

Accounting his tight blue tail coat and brass buttons a victory

Accustomed to be paid for by his country

Acting is not of the high class which conceals the art

Active despair is a passion that must be superseded

Add on a tired pipe after dark, and a sound sleep to follow

Adept in the lie implied

Admirable scruples of an inveterate borrower

Admiration of an enemy or oppressor doing great deeds

Admires a girl when there's no married woman or widow in sight

Adversary at once offensive and helpless provokes brutality

Advised not to push at a shut gate

Affected misapprehensions

Affectedly gentle and unusually roundabout opening

After five years of marriage, and twelve of friendship

After a big blow, a very little one scarcely counts

After forty, men have married their habits

Agostino was enjoying the smoke of paper cigarettes

Ah! we fall into their fictions

Ah! how sweet to waltz through life with the right partner

Ah! we're in the enemy's country now

Aimlessness of a woman's curiosity

Alike believe that Providence is for them

All passed too swift for happiness

All are friends who sit at table

All concessions to the people have been won from fear

All flattery is at somebody's expense

All of us an ermined owl within us to sit in judgement

All women are the same—Know one, know all

All that Matey and Browny were forbidden to write they looked

Allowed silly sensitiveness to prevent the repair

Although it blew hard when Caesar crossed the Rubicon

Always the shout for more produced it ("News")

Am I ill? I must be hungry!

Am I thy master, or thou mine?

Americans forgivingly remember, without mentioning

Amiable mirror as being wilfully ruffled to confuse

Among boys there are laws of honour and chivalrous codes

Amused after their tiresome work of slaughter

An old spoiler of women is worse than one spoiled by them!

An obedient creature enough where he must be

An edge to his smile that cuts much like a sneer

An angry woman will think the worst

An incomprehensible world indeed at the bottom and at the top

An instinct labouring to supply the deficiencies of stupidity

And her voice, against herself, was for England

And, ladies, if you will consent to be likened to a fruit

And so Farewell my young Ambition! and with it farewell all true

And now came war, the purifier and the pestilence

And to these instructions he gave an aim: "First be virtuous"

And life said, Do it, and death said, To what end?

And never did a stroke of work in my life

And not any of your grand ladies can match my wife at home

And one gets the worst of it (in any bargain)

And he passed along the road, adds the Philosopher

And it's one family where the dog is pulled by the collar

And not be beaten by an acknowledged defeat

Anecdotist to slaughter families for the amusement

Anguish to think of having bent the knee for nothing

Anticipate opposition by initiating measures

Any excess pushes to craziness

Any man is in love with any woman

Appealed to reason in them; he would not hear of convictions

Appetite to flourish at the cost of the weaker

Arch-devourer Time

Are we practical?' penetrates the bosom of an English audience

Aristocratic assumption of licence

Arm'd with Fear the Foe finds passage to the vital part

Arrest the enemy by vociferations of persistent prayer

Art of speaking on politics tersely

Art of despising what he coveted

As faith comes—no saying how; one swears by them

As for comparisons, they are flowers thrown into the fire

As in all great oratory! The key of it is the pathos

As the Lord decided, so it would end! "Oh, delicious creed!"

As to wit, the sneer is the cloak of clumsiness

As fair play as a woman's lord could give her

As when nations are secretly preparing for war

As if she had never heard him previously enunciate the formula

As secretive as they are sensitive

As well ask (women) how a battle-field concerns them!

As becomes them, they do not look ahead

As for titles, the way to defend them is to be worthy of them

As if the age were the injury!

As little trouble as the heath when the woods are swept

Ashamed of letting his ears be filled with secret talk

Ask pardon of you, without excusing myself

Ask not why, where reason never was

Assist in our small sphere; not come mouthing to the footlights

At war with ourselves, means the best happiness we can have

At the age of forty, men that love love rootedly

Attacked my conscience on the cowardly side

Automatic creature is subject to the laws of its construction

Avoid the position that enforces publishing

Back from the altar to discover that she has chained herself

Bad laws are best broken

Bad luck's not repeated every day Keep heart for the good

Bade his audience to beware of princes

Bandied the weariful shuttlecock of gallantry

Barriers are for those who cannot fly

Be the woman and have the last word!

Be on your guard the next two minutes he gets you alone

Be good and dull, and please everybody

Be philosophical, but accept your personal dues

Be what you seem, my little one

Be politic and give her elbow-room for her natural angles

Bear in mind that we are sentimentalists—The eye is our servant

Beauchamp's career

Beautiful women may believe themselves beloved

Beautiful women in her position provoke an intemperateness

Beautiful servicelessness

Beauty is rare; luckily is it rare

Because you loved something better than me

Because men can't abide praise of another man

Because he stood so high with her now he feared the fall

Becoming air of appropriation that made it family history

Bed was a rock of refuge and fortified defence

Began the game of Pull

Beginning to have a movement to kiss the whip

Behold the hero embarked in the redemption of an erring beauty

Being in heart and mind the brother to the sister with women

Being heard at night, in the nineteenth century

Belief in the narrative by promoting nausea in the audience

Believed in her love, and judged it by the strength of his own

Bent double to gather things we have tossed away

Better for men of extremely opposite opinions not to meet

Between love grown old and indifference ageing to love

Beware the silent one of an assembly!

Beyond a plot of flowers, a gold-green meadow dipped to a ridge

Bitten hard at experience, and know the value of a tooth

Borrower to be dancing on Fortune's tight-rope above the old abyss

Botched mendings will only make them worse

Bound to assure everybody at table he was perfectly happy

Bounds of his intelligence closed their four walls

Boys who can appreciate brave deeds are capable of doing them

Boys, of course—but men, too!

Boys are unjust

Braggadocioing in deeds is only next bad to mouthing it

Brains will beat Grim Death if we have enough of them

Brief negatives are not re-assuring to a lover's uneasy mind

British hunger for news; second only to that for beef

Brittle is foredoomed

Brotherhood among the select who wear masks instead of faces

But great, powerful London—the new universe to her spirit

But the key to young men is the ambition, or, in the place of it…..

But to strangle craving is indeed to go through a death

But a woman must now and then ingratiate herself

But a great success is full of temptations

But is there such a thing as happiness

But what is it we do (excepting cricket, of course)

But the flower is a thing of the season; the flower drops off

But love for a parent is not merely duty

But they were a hopeless couple, they were so friendly

But I leave it to you

But you must be beautiful to please some men

But had sunk to climb on a firmer footing

By nature incapable of asking pardon

By forbearance, put it in the wrong

By resisting, I made him a tyrant

By our manner of loving we are known

Cajoled like a twenty-year-old yahoo at college

Call of the great world's appetite for more (Invented news)

Calm fanaticism of the passion of love

Can you not be told you are perfect without seeking to improve

Can a man go farther than his nature?

Can believe a woman to be any age when her cheeks are tinted

Cannot be any goodness unless it is a practiced goodness

Canvassing means intimidation or corruption

Capacity for thinking should precede the act of writing

Capricious potentate whom they worship

Careful not to smell of his office

Carry explosives and must particularly guard against sparks

Carry a scene through in virtue's name and vice's mask

Causes him to be popularly weighed

Centres of polished barbarism known as aristocratic societies

Challenged him to lead up to her desired stormy scene

Charges of cynicism are common against all satirists

Charitable mercifulness; better than sentimental ointment

Charity that supplied the place of justice was not thanked

Chaste are wattled in formalism and throned in sourness

Cheerful martyr

Childish faith in the beneficence of the unseen Powers who feed us

Chose to conceive that he thought abstractedly

Circumstances may combine to make a whisper as deadly as a blow

Civil tongue and rosy smiles sweeten even sour wine

Claim for equality puts an end to the priceless privileges

Clotilde fenced, which is half a confession

Cock-sure has crowed low by sunset

Cold charity to all

Cold curiosity

Come prepared to be not very well satisfied with anything

Comfortable have to pay in occasional panics for the serenity

Command of countenance the Countess possessed

Commencement of a speech proves that you have made the plunge

Common voice of praise in the mouths of his creditors

His gaze and one of his ears, if not the pair, were given

His alien ideas were not unimpressed by the picture

His idea of marriage is, the taking of the woman into custody

His violent earnestness, his imperial self-confidence

His ridiculous equanimity

His fancy performed miraculous feats

His apparent cynicism is sheer irritability

His aim to win the woman acknowledged no obstacle in the means

His restored sense of possession

His wife alone, had, as they termed it, kept him together

Holding to his work after the strain's over—That tells the man

Holding to the refusal, for the sake of consistency

I'm for a rational Deity

I'm in love with everything she wishes! I've got the habit

Idea is the only vital breath

Ideas in gestation are the dullest matter you can have

If the world is hostile we are not to blame it

If you have this creative soul, be the slave of your creature

If I love you, need you care what anybody else thinks

If I do not speak of payment

If there's no doubt about it, how is it I have a doubt about it?

If you kneel down, who will decline to put a foot on you?

If we are robbed, we ask, How came we by the goods?

If we are really for Nature, we are not lawless

If he had valued you half a grain less, he might have won you

In Sir Austin's Note-book was written: "Between Simple Boyhood…"

In our House, my son, there is peculiar blood. We go to wreck!

In India they sacrifice the widows, in France the virgins

In every difficulty, patience is a life-belt

In the pay of our doctors

It was now, as Sir Austin had written it down, The Magnetic Age

It rarely astonishes our ears It illumines our souls

It was an honest buss, but dear at ten thousand

It was harder to be near and not close

It is the best of signs when women take to her

It is no insignificant contest when love has to crush self-love

It is well to learn manners without having them imposed on us

It 's us hard ones that get on best in the world

It was in a time before our joyful era of universal equality

It is not high flying, which usually ends in heavy falling

It goes at the lifting of the bridegroom's little finger

It would be hard! ay, then we do it forthwith

It was his ill luck to have strong appetites and a weak stomach

It is better for us both, of course

It was as if she had been eyeing a golden door shut fast

It is no use trying to conceal anything from him

It was her prayer to heaven that she might save a doctor's bill

Lest thou commence to lie—be dumb!

Let but the throb be kept for others—That is the one secret

Let never Necessity draw the bow of our weakness

Let none of us be so exalted above the wit of daily life

Make no effort to amuse him. He is always occupied

Making too much of it—a trick of the vulgar

Man without a penny in his pocket, and a gizzard full of pride

Mistaking of her desires for her reasons

Modest are the most easily intoxicated when they sip at vanity

Money is of course a rough test of virtue

Money's a chain-cable for holding men to their senses

Night has little mercy for the self-reproachful

No enemy's shot is equal to a weak heart in the act

No case is hopeless till a man consents to think it is

No runner can outstrip his fate

No flattery for me at the expense of my sisters

No heart to dare is no heart to love!

No nose to the hero, no moral to the tale

No word is more lightly spoken than shame

No intoxication of hot blood to cheer those who sat at home

No man can hear the words which prove him a prophet (quietly)

No great harm done when you're silent

No stopping the Press while the people have an appetite for it

No Act to compel a man to deny what appears in the papers

No love can be without jealousy

No man has a firm foothold who pretends to it

No conversation coming of it, her curiosity was violent

No companionship save with the wound they nurse

No! Gentlemen don't fling stones; leave that to the blackguards

Not to bother your wits, but leave the puzzle to the priest

Not likely to be far behind curates in besieging an heiress

Not to go hunting and fawning for alliances

Not much esteem for non-professional actresses

Not every chapter can be sunshine

Not in a situation that could bear of her blaming herself

Not to be the idol, to have an aim of our own

Not the indignant and the frozen, but the genially indifferent

Not always the right thing to do the right thing

Not to do things wholly is worse than not to do things at all

Not a page of his books reveals malevolence or a sneer

Not in love—She was only not unwilling to be in love

Not to be feared more than are the general race of bunglers

Not men of brains, but the men of aptitudes

Tendency to polysyllabic phraseology

Tenderness which Mrs. Mel permitted rather than encouraged

Tension of the old links keeping us together

Terrible decree, that all must act who would prevail

That sort of progenitor is your "permanent aristocracy"

That is life—when we dare death to live!

That plain confession of a lack of wit; he offered combat

That a mask is a concealment

That fiery dragon, a beautiful woman with brains

That which fine cookery does for the cementing of couples

That beautiful trust which habit gives

That pit of one of their dead silences

That's the natural shamrock, after the artificial

The well of true wit is truth itself

The past is our mortal mother, no dead thing

The philosopher (I would keep him back if I could)

The unhappy, who do not wish to live, and cannot die

The woman follows the man, and music fits to verse,

The impalpable which has prevailing weight

The face of a stopped watch

The most dangerous word of all—ja

The old confession, that we cannot cook(The English)

The night went past as a year

The effects of the infinitely little

The homage we pay him flatters us

The backstairs of history (Memoirs)

The grey furniture of Time for his natural wear

The beat of a heart with a dread like a shot in it

The good life gone lives on in the mind

The woman side of him

The next ten minutes will decide our destinies

The terrible aggregate social woman

The shots hit us behind you

The spending, never harvesting, world

The despot is alert at every issue, to every chance

The banquet to be fervently remembered, should smoke

The idea of love upon the lips of ordinary men, provoked Dahlia's irony

The love that survives has strangled craving

The thought stood in her eyes

The proper defence for a nation is its history

The born preacher we feel instinctively to be our foe

The danger of a little knowledge of things is disputable

The commonest things are the worst done

The world is wise in its way

The Pilgrim's Scrip remarks that: Young men take joy in nothing

The divine afflatus of enthusiasm buoyed her no longer

The king without his crown hath a forehead like the clown

The overwise themselves hoodwink

The kindest of men can be cruel

The devil trusts nobody

The majority, however, had been snatched out of this bliss

The critic that sneers

The habit of the defensive paralyzes will

The intricate, which she takes for the infinite

The exhaustion ensuing we named tranquillity

The social world he looked at did not show him heroes

The mildness of assured dictatorship

The race is for domestic peace, my boy

The embraced respected woman

The divinely damnable naked truth won't wear ornaments

The alternative is, a garter and the bedpost

The curse of sorrow is comparison!

The idol of the hour is the mob's wooden puppet

The circle which the ladies of Brookfield were designing

The wretch who fears death dies multitudinously

Their hearts are eaten up by property

Their sneer withers

Their not caring to think at all

Their way was down a green lane and across long meadow-paths

Their idol pitched before them on the floor

Then, if you will not tell me

Then for us the struggle, for him the grief

There is no first claim

There is no history of events below the surface

There is more in men and women than the stuff they utter

There were joy-bells for Robert and Rhoda, but none for Dahlia

There is no driver like stomach

There are women who go through life not knowing love

There is little to be learnt when a little is known

There is for the mind but one grasp of happiness

There is no step backward in life

There may be women who think as well as feel; I don't know them

There's not an act of a man's life lies dead behind him

There's ne'er a worse off but there's a better off

There's nothing like a metaphor for an evasion

They laugh, but they laugh extinguishingly

They do not live; they are engines

They helped her to feel at home with herself

They have not to speak to exhibit their minds

They have their thinking done for them

They had all noticed, seen, and observed

They, meantime, who had a contempt for sleep

They may know how to make themselves happy in their climate

They are little ironical laughter—Accidents

They seem to me to be educated to conceal their education

They dare not. The more I dare, the less dare they

They miss their pleasure in pursuing it

They take fever for strength, and calmness for submission

They kissed coldly, pressed a hand, said good night

They could have pardoned her a younger lover

They create by stoppage a volcano

They believe that the angels have been busy about them

They have no sensitiveness, we have too much

They want you to show them what they 'd like the world to be

They're always having to retire and always hissing

Things were lumpish and gloomy that day of the week

Things are not equal

Thirst for the haranguing of crowds

This was a totally different case from the antecedent ones

This mania of young people for pleasure, eternal pleasure

This female talk of the eternities

This love they rattle about and rave about

This girl was pliable only to service, not to grief

Those who are rescued and made happy by circumstances

Those numerous women who always know themselves to be right

Those who have the careless chatter, the ready laugh

Those whose humour consists of a readiness to laugh

Those days of intellectual coxcombry

Those happy men who enjoy perceptions without opinions

Those who know little and dread much

Thought of differences with him caused frightful apprehensions

Threatened powerful drugs for weak stomachs

Threats of prayer, however, that harp upon their sincerity

Thus are we stricken by the days of our youth

Thus does Love avenge himself on the unsatisfactory Past

Tight grasps of the hand, in which there was warmth and shyness

Tighter than ever I was tight I'll be to-night

Time is due to us, and the minutes are our gold slipping away

Time and strength run to waste in retarding the inevitable

Time, whose trick is to turn corners of unanticipated sharpness

Times when an example is needed by brave men

Tis the fashion to have our tattle done by machinery

Tis the first step that makes a path

Titles showered on the women who take free breath of air

To beg the vote and wink the bribe

To most men women are knaves or ninnies

To be a really popular hero anywhere in Britain (must be a drinker)

To have no sympathy with the playful mind is not to have a mind

To be passive in calamity is the province of no woman

To let people speak was a maxim of Mrs. Mel's, and a wise one

To know that you are in England, breathing the same air with me

To kill the deer and be sorry for the suffering wretch is common

To the rest of the world he was a progressive comedy

To be both generally blamed, and generally liked

To do nothing, is the wisdom of those who have seen fools perish

To hope, and not be impatient, is really to believe

To be her master, however, one must not begin by writhing as her slave

To time and a wife it is no disgrace for a man to bend

To males, all ideas are female until they are made facts

To know how to take a licking, that wins in the end

Tongue flew, thought followed

Too many time-servers rot the State

Too prompt, too full of personal relish of his point

Too often hangs the house on one loose stone

Too well used to defeat to believe readily in victory

Too weak to resist, to submit to an outrage quietly

Took care to be late, so that all eyes beheld her

Tooth that received a stone when it expected candy

Top and bottom sin is cowardice

Tossed him from repulsion to incredulity, and so back

Touch him with my hand, before he passed from our sight

Touch sin and you accommodate yourself to its vileness

Touching a nerve

Toyed with little flowers of palest memory

Tradesman, and he never was known to have sent in a bill

Trial of her beauty of a woman in a temper

Trick for killing time without hurting him

Tried to be honest, and was as much so as his disease permitted

Troublesome appendages of success

True enjoyment of the princely disposition

True love excludes no natural duty

Trust no man Still, this man may be better than that man

Truth is, they have taken a stain from the life they lead

Twice a bad thing to turn sinners loose

Twisted by a nature that would not allow of open eyes

Two people love, there is no such thing as owing between them

Two principal roads by which poor sinners come to a conscience

Two wishes make a will

Unaccustomed to have his will thwarted

Unanimous verdicts from a jury of temporary impressions

Uncommon unprogressiveness

Unfeminine of any woman to speak continuously anywhere

Universal censor's angry spite

Unseemly hour—unbetimes

Unshamed exuberant male has found the sweet reverse in his mate

Use your religion like a drug

Utterance of generous and patriotic cries is not sufficient

Vagrant compassionateness of sentimentalists

Vanity maketh the strongest most weak

Venerated by his followers, well hated by his enemies

Venus of nature was melting into a Venus of art

Very little parleying between determined men

Vessel was conspiring to ruin our self-respect

Victims of the modern feminine 'ideal'

Violent summons to accept, which is a provocation to deny

Virtue of impatience

Virtuously zealous in an instant on behalf of the lovely dame

Vowed never more to repeat that offence to his patience

Vulgarity in others evoked vulgarity in her

Wait till the day's ended before you curse your luck

Waited serenely for the certain disasters to enthrone her

Wakening to the claims of others—Youth's infant conscience

Want of courage is want of sense

War is only an exaggerated form of duelling

Warm, is hardly the word—Winter's warm on skates

Was born on a hired bed

Was I true? Not so very false, yet how far from truth!

Was not one of the order whose Muse is the Public Taste

Watch, and wait

We shall want a war to teach the country the value of courage

We don't go together into a garden of roses

We were unarmed, and the spectacle was distressing

We are good friends till we quarrel again

We grew accustomed to periods of Irish fever

We have come to think we have a claim upon her gratitude

We women can read men by their power to love

We trust them or we crush them

We cannot relinquish an idea that was ours

We has long overshadowed "I"

We must have some excuse, if we would keep to life

We like well whatso we have done good work for

We could row and ride and fish and shoot, and breed largely

We dare not be weak if we would

We cannot, men or woman, control the heart in sleep at night

We can't hope to have what should be

We have a system, not planned but grown

We are chiefly led by hope

We never see peace but in the features of the dead

We live alone, and do not much feel it till we are visited

We do not see clearly when we are trying to deceive

We deprive all renegades of their spiritual titles

We have now looked into the hazy interior of their systems

We are, in short, a civilized people

We can bear to fall; we cannot afford to draw back

We make our taskmasters of those to whom we have done a wrong

We must fawn in society

We shall go together; we shall not have to weep for one another

We shall not be rich—nor poor

We don't know we are in halves

We're all of us hit at last, and generally by our own weapon

We're smitten to-day in our hearts and our pockets

We're a peaceful people, but 'ware who touches us

We're treated like old-fashioned ornaments!

We've all a parlous lot too much pulpit in us

Weak stomach is certainly more carnally virtuous than a full one

Weak souls are much moved by having the pathos on their side

Weak reeds who are easily vanquished and never overcome

Weather and women have some resemblance they say

Weighty little word—woman's native watchdog and guardian (No!)

Welcomed and lured on an adversary to wild outhitting

Well, sir, we must sell our opium

Welsh blood is queer blood

Went into endless invalid's laughter

Were I chained, For liberty I would sell liberty

What will be thought of me? not a small matter to any of us

What a man hates in adversity is to see 'faces'

What else is so consolatory to a ruined man?

What a stock of axioms young people have handy

What the world says, is what the wind says

What was this tale of Emilia, that grew more and more perplexing

What he did, she took among other inevitable matters

What a woman thinks of women, is the test of her nature

What ninnies call Nature in books

What might have been

What's an eccentric? a child grown grey!

When we see our veterans tottering to their fall

When he's a Christian instead of a Churchman

When you run away, you don't live to fight another day

When Love is hurt, it is self-love that requires the opiate

When to loquacious fools with patience rare I listen

When testy old gentlemen could commit slaughter with ecstasy

When we despair or discolour things, it is our senses in revolt

When you have done laughing with her, you can laugh at her

When duelling flourished on our land, frail women powerful

Where one won't and can't, poor t' other must

Where fools are the fathers of every miracle

Where love exists there is goodness

Where she appears, the first person falls to second rank

Where heart weds mind, or nature joins intellect

Whimpering fits you said we enjoy and must have in books

Who beguiles so much as Self?

Who shuns true friends flies fortune in the concrete

Who venerate when they love

Who rises from Prayer a better man, his prayer is answered

Who cannot talk!—but who can?

Who so intoxicated as the convalescent catching at health?

Who in a labyrinth wandereth without clue

Who cries, Come on, and prays his gods you won't

Who shrinks from an hour that is suspended in doubt

Who enjoyed simple things when commanding the luxuries

Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?

Who can really think, and not think hopefully?

Whole body of fanatics combined to precipitate the devotion

Whose bounty was worse to him than his abuse

Why he enjoyed the privilege of seeing, and was not beside her

Why, he'll snap your head off for a word

Why should these men take so much killing?

Wife and no wife, a prisoner in liberty

Wilfrid perceived that he had become an old man

Will not admit the existence of a virtue in an opposite opinion

William John Fleming was simply a poor farmer

Win you—temperately, let us hope; by storm, if need be

Winds of panic are violently engaged in occupying the vacuum

Wins everywhere back a reflection of its own kindliness

Winter mornings are divine. They move on noiselessly

Wise in not seeking to be too wise

With what little wisdom the world is governed

With a proud humility

With one idea, we see nothing—nothing but itself

With a frozen fish of admirable principles for wife

With good wine to wash it down, one can swallow anything

With death; we'd rather not, because of a qualm

With that I sail into the dark

With this money, said the demon, you might speculate

Withdrew into the entrenchments of contempt

Without a single intimation that he loathed the task

Without those consolatory efforts, useless between men

Wits, which are ordinarily less productive than land

Wives are only an item in the list, and not the most important

Woman finds herself on board a rudderless vessel

Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man

Woman descending from her ideal to the gross reality of man

Woman's precious word No at the sentinel's post, and alert

Women are happier enslaved

Women are taken to be the second thoughts of the Creator

Women with brains, moreover, are all heartless

Women must not be judging things out of their sphere

Women don't care uncommonly for the men who love them

Women treat men as their tamed housemates

Women are wonderfully quick scholars under ridicule

Women and men are in two hostile camps

Women are swift at coming to conclusions in these matters

Won't do to be taking in reefs on a lee-shore

Wonderment that one of her sex should have ideas

Wooing a good man for his friendship

Wooing her with dog's eyes instead of words

Work of extravagance upon perceptibly plain matter

Work is medicine

World voluntarily opens a path to those who step determinedly

World cannot pardon a breach of continuity

World is ruthless, dear friends, because the world is hypocrite

World against us It will not keep us from trying to serve

World prefers decorum to honesty

Would he see what he aims at? let him ask his heels

Would like to feel he was doing a bit of good

Wrapped in the comfort of his cowardice

Writer society delights in, to show what it is composed of

Yawns coming alarmingly fast, in the place of ideas

Years are the teachers of the great rocky natures

Yet, though Angels smile, shall not Devils laugh

You want me to flick your indecision

You saw nothing but handkerchiefs out all over the theatre

You are to imagine that they know everything

You can master pain, but not doubt

You may learn to know yourself through love

You do want polish

You who may have cared for her through her many tribulations, have no fear

You choose to give yourself to an obscure dog

You are not married, you are simply chained

You played for gain, and that was a licenced thieving

You talk your mother with a vengeance

You have not to be told that I desire your happiness above all

You are entreated to repress alarm

You accuse or you exonerate—Nobody can be half guilty

You rides when you can, and you walks when you must

You beat me with the fists, but my spirit is towering

You'll have to guess at half of everything he tells you

You'll tell her you couldn't sit down in her presence undressed

You're going to be men, meaning something better than women

You're a rank, right-down widow, and no mistake

You're talking to me, not to a gallery

You're the puppet of your women!

You've got no friend but your bed

Young as when she looked upon the lovers in Paradise

Your devotion craves an enormous exchange

Youth will not believe that stupidity and beauty can go together

Youth is not alarmed by the sound of big sums

Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will be renamed.

Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without permission and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG™ concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you charge for an eBook, except by following the terms of the trademark license, including paying royalties for use of the Project Gutenberg trademark. If you do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the trademark license is very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and research.

1.B. “Project Gutenberg” is a registered trademark. It may only be used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.

There are a lot of things you can do with Project Gutenberg™ electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg™ electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.

1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (“the Foundation” or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the United States and you are located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project Gutenberg™ mission of promoting free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg™ works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg™ name associated with the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg™ License when you share it without charge with others.

1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg™ work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any country other than the United States.

1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:

1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg™ License must appear prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg™ work (any work on which the phrase “Project Gutenberg” appears, or with which the phrase “Project Gutenberg” is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, copied or distributed:

This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the United States, you will have to check the laws of the country where you are located before using this eBook.

1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase “Project Gutenberg” associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg™ trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is posted with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked to the Project Gutenberg™ License for all works posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg™ License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg™.

1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project Gutenberg™ License.

1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary, compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg™ work in a format other than “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other format used in the official version posted on the official Project Gutenberg™ website (www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg™ License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying, performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg™ works unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing access to or distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works provided that:

- • You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from the use of Project Gutenberg™ works calculated using the method you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, but he has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, “Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.”

- • You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg™ License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg™ works.

- • You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of receipt of the work.

- • You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free distribution of Project Gutenberg™ works.

1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the manager of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
