emotional long feelings
No emotion, any more than a wave, can long retain its own individual form.
book longing good-company
A book is good company. It is full of conversation without loquacity. It comes to your longing with full instruction, but pursues you never.
long bird joy
There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away.
men thinking long
In the early ages men ruled by strength; now they rule by brain, and so long as there is only one man in the world who can think and plan, he will stand head and shoulders above him who cannot.
hate long parent
Let parents who hate their offspring rear them to hate labor, and to inherit riches; and before long they will be stung by every vice, racked by its poison, and damned by its penalty.
time men long
A grindstone that had not grit in it, how long would it take to sharpen an ax? And affairs that had not grit in them, how long would they take to make a man?
war spring long
As long as society is absolutely divided as milk is, the cream being at the top and the impoverished milk at the bottom, so long will society be unbalanced, and liable to be thrown into convulsions out of which will spring wars. A circulation throughout keeps it in health.
law long soul
Liberty is the soul's right to breathe and, when it cannot take a long breath, laws are girdled too tight.
struggle long wish
It is not what we read, but what we remember, that makes us learned. It is not what we intend, but what we do that makes us useful. It is not a few faint wishes, but a life long struggle, that makes us valiant.
long joy fly-away
There are joys which long to be ours
long feelings may
Like waves, our feelings may continue by repeating themselves, by intermittent rushes; but no emotion any more than a wave can long retain its own individual form.
destiny men long
Where all of the man is what property he owns, it does not take long to annihilate him.
heart longing moments
There is not a heart but has its moments of longing, yearning for something better; nobler; holier than it knows now.
success running long
Success surely comes with conscience in the long run, other things being equal. Capacity and fidelity are commercially profitable qualities.
