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
