Christian Nestell Bovee quotes about
wall race feelings
Within the sacred walls of libraries we find the best thoughts, the purest feelings, and the most exalted imaginings of our race.
gay rose feelings
Like the withered roses of a once gay garland, the feelings of youth command in age a melancholy interest.
flower feelings letters
A profusion of fancies and quotations is out of place in a love-letter. True feeling is always direct, and never deviates into by-ways to cull flowers of rhetoric.
iron negativity feelings
Affliction, like the iron-smith, shapes as it smites.
feelings religion matter
Genuine religion is matter of feeling rather than matter of opinion.
passion feelings looks
Passion doesn't look beyond the moment of its existence.
faith however themselves
They are the weakest, however strong, who have no faith in themselves or their own powers.
influence relation circumstances
It is our relation to circumstances that determines their influence upon us.
next faith-in-god labor
Next to faith in God, is faith in labor.
life sugar fancy
Discretion is the salt, and fancy the sugar of life; the one preserves, the other sweetens it.
running opposites quality
Qualities not regulated run into their opposites. Economy before competence is meanness after it. Therefore economy is for the poor; the rich may dispense with it.
witty self able
The next best thing to being witty one's self, is to be able to be able to quote another's wit.
yield mistress favors
Fortune, like a coy mistress, loves to yield her favors, though she makes us wrest them from her.
fate hawks resentment
Resentments, carried too far, expose us to a fate analogous to that of the fish-hawk, when he strikes his talons too deep into a fish beyond his capacity to lift, and is carried under and drowned by it.
