Additional quotes by William Rounseville Alger

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.

God's mills grind slow,
But they grind woe.

When man seized the loadstone of science, the loadstar of superstition vanished in the clouds.

Fill up the goblet and reach to me some! Drinking makes wise, but dry fasting makes glum. - William Rounseville Alger
