DIANA OF THE CROSSWAYS, V5 [GM#75][GM75V10.TXT]4469

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
