hypocrite mean ends
If you cultivate piety as an end and not a means, you will become a hypocrite.
piety
We are plated with piety, not alloyed with it.
love hands return
Love is a boomerang that returns to the thrower's hand.
loneliness quality life-is
The most evident quality of human life is its loneliness.
life
You can buy life only with life.
life lakes water
Life is a bubble in a lake, that glitters for an instant, bursts, and leaves not even a blur on the water; it is the leap of a minnow, which sends a tiny ripple trembling for a few inches.
life men snakes
A man's life is like a well, not like a snake--it should be measured by its depth, not by its length.
life eye dark
Life is a charity ball given by the leaders of society. A few dance, get their charity's worth to the last penny; and the poor stand outside the gate and watch with hungry eyes the glint of jewels in the warm air. Then comes the lackey Death, and he says: "Madam and my Master, your carriage waits." So they go away into the dark in the carriage of the black plumes, and the dancing continues.
life life-is
Life is being, not having.
life swim hard
You can swim in life and seawater, but both are hard to swallow.
house coats literature
Originality in literature is only a new coat of paint on an old house.
passing-away deeds literature
There is a form of literature that is a deed, and a form that is only talk, and the latter passes away like a conversation.
power answers speech
Power should answer by action, not by speech.
luck doe saint
That the saints were usually in ill luck does not canonize you.
