"Our friendships hurry to short and poor..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Nature wishes that woman should attract man, yet she often cunningly moulds into her face a little sarcasm, which seems to say, 'Yes, I am willing to attract, but to attract a little better kind of a man than any I yet behold”

“Valor consists in the power of self-recovery, so that a man cannot have his flank turned, cannot be out-generalled, but put him where you will, he stands.”

“If you would lift me up, you've got to be on higher ground.”

“We are advertis'd by our loving friends.”

“Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens adversity by dividing and sharing it.”

“Some believe it to be just friends wanting, as if to be healthy enough to wish health.”

“Not to sink under being man and wife,But get some color and music out of life?”

“I got the sense that he was the kind of person who couldn't hold anger for more than a few minutes, because it just wasn't in him. It could never grow into resentment or bitterness, and I knew then that he was the kind of man who would be married forever. And I decided then and there that I should be the one to marry him.”

“If a man makes me keep my distance, the comfort is, he keeps his at the same time.”
