Men often make up in wrath what they want in reason. - William Rounseville Alger

Most men give advice by the bucket, but take it by the grain.

In the nine heavens are eight Paradises;
Where is the ninth one? In the human breast.
Only the blessed dwell in th' Paradises,
But blessedness dwells in the human breast.

A gray eye is a sly eye, And roguish is a brown one;
Turn full upon me thy eye,— Ah, how its wavelets drown one!
A blue eye is a true eye; Mysterious is a dark one,
Which flashes like a spark-sun! A black eye is the best one.
