=Shakespeare carries us to such a lofty strain of intelligent activity as to suggest a wealth that beggars his own; and we then feel that the splendid works which he has created, and which in other hours we extol as a sort of self-existent poetry, have no stronger hold of real nature than the shadow of a passing traveller on the rock.= _Emerson._

=Shakespeare was forbidden of heaven to have any plans.... Not for him the founding of institutions, the preaching of doctrines, or the repression of abuses.

=Shakespeare= (it is true) =wrote perfect historical= 20 =plays on subjects belonging to the preceding centuries,= (but) =they are perfect plays just because there is no care about centuries in them, but a life which all men recognise for the human life of all time; ... a rogue in the fifteenth century being, at heart, what a rogue is in the nineteenth and was in the twelfth; and an honest or a knightly man being, in like manner, very similar to other such at any other time.= _Ruskin._

=We do not know what is really good or bad fortune.= _Rousseau._

=We expect everything, and are prepared for nothing.= _Mme. Swetchine._
=We expect in letters to discover somewhat= 45 =of a person's real character. It is childish indeed to expect that we are to find the whole heart of the author unveiled....

=We learn to know nothing but what we love; and the deeper we mean to penetrate into any matter with insight, the stronger and more vital must our love and passion be.= _Goethe._
=We learn wisdom from failure much more than= 15 =from success; we often discover what will do by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery. Horne Tooke used to say of his studies in intellectual philosophy, that he had become all the better acquainted with the country through having had the good luck sometimes to lose his way.= _Smiles._

=We live in a world which is full of misery and ignorance, and the plain duty of each and all of us is to try to make the little corner he can influence somewhat less miserable and somewhat less ignorant than it was before he entered it.

=We love a girl for very different things than= 30 =understanding. We love her for her beauty, her youth, her mirth, her confidingness, her character, with its faults, caprices, and God knows what other inexpressible charms; but we do not love her for her understanding. Her mind we esteem (if it is brilliant), and it may greatly elevate her in our opinion; nay, more, it may enchain us when we already love.

=We love in others what we lack ourselves, / And would be everything but what we are.= _R. H. Stoddart._
=We love justice greatly, and just men but little.= _Joseph Roux._

=We make way for the man who boldly pushes past us.= _Bovee._
=We manufacture everything there= (in our manufacturing cities) =except men; we blanch cotton, and strengthen steel, and refine sugar, and shape pottery; but to brighten, to strengthen, to refine, or to form a single living spirit, never enters into our estimate of advantages.= _Ruskin._
=We may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost.= _Rousseau._
=We may all agree in lamenting that there are so many houses where you will not find a good atlas, a good dictionary, or a good cyclopædia of reference. What is still more lamentable, in a good many more houses where these books are, is that they are never referred to or opened.= _John Morley._

=We may outrun / By violent swiftness that which we run at, / And lose by overrunning.= _Hen. VIII._, i. 1.
=We may say of angling as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries, "Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did;" and so, if I might be judge, God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.= _Izaak Walton._

=We mount to heaven mostly on the ruins of our cherished schemes, finding our failures were successes.= _A. B. Alcott._

=We need change of objects.= _Emerson._
=We= (in England) =need examples of people who, leaving Heaven to decide whether they are to rise in the world, decide for themselves that they will be happy in it, and have resolved to seek--not greater wealth, but simpler pleasure; not higher fortune, but deeper felicity; making the first of possessions self-possession, and honouring themselves in the harmless pride and calm pursuits of peace.= _Ruskin._

=We see farthest into the future--and that is not far--when we most carefully consider the facts of the present.= _Dr. Jowett._

=We should have all our communications with men as in the presence of God; and with God, as in the presence of men.= _Colton._

=Wonder on till truth make all things plain.= _Mid. N.'s Dream._
="Wonder," says Aristotle, "is the first cause of philosophy." This is quite as true in the progress of the individual as in that of the concrete mind; and the constant aim of philosophy is to destroy its parent.= _Bulwer Lytton._
=Wondrous indeed is the virtue of a true book. Not like a dead city of stones, yearly crumbling, yearly needing repair; more like a tilled field, but then a spiritual field; like a spiritual tree, let me rather say, it stands from year to year, and from age to age (we have books that already number some one hundred and fifty human ages); and yearly comes its new produce of leaves (commentaries, deductions, philosophical, political systems, or were it only sermons, pamphlets, journalistic essays), every one of which is talismanic and thaumaturgic, for it can persuade men.= _Carlyle._

=Words are but wind, but seein's believin'.= _Sc. Pr._
=Words are fools' pence.= _Pr._

=Words pay no debts.= _Troil. and Cress._, iii. 2.
=Words that are now dead were once alive.= _A. Coles._

=Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath= 25 =give.= _Macb._, ii. 1.
=Words which flow fresh and warm from a full heart, and which are instinct with the life and breath of human feeling, pass into household memories, and partake of the immortality of the affections from which they spring.= _Whipple._
=Words without thoughts never to heaven go.= _Ham._, iii. 3.
=Work, according to my feeling, is as much of a necessity to man as eating and sleeping. Even those who do nothing which to a sensible man can be called work, still imagine that they are doing something. The world possesses not a man who is an idler in his own eyes.= _W. v. Humboldt._
=Work alone is noble.= _Carlyle._
="Work and wait," "Work and wait," is what= 30 =God says to us in creation and in providence.= _J. G. Holland._

=Work is not man's punishment; it is his reward and his strength, his glory and his pleasure.= _George Sand._
=Work is of a religious nature,--work is of a brave nature, which it is the aim of all religion to be. "All work of man is as the swimmer's." A waste ocean threatens to devour him; if he front it not bravely, it will keep its word. By incessant wise defiance of it, lusty rebuke and buffet of it, behold how it loyally supports him,--bears him as its conqueror along!

=Work, properly so called, is an appeal from the Seen to the Unseen--a devout calling upon Higher Powers; and unless they stand by us, it will not be a work, but a quackery.= _Carlyle._

=Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve, / And hope without an object cannot live.= _Coleridge._
=Work, work, work, / Till the brain begins to swim; / Work, work, work, / Till the eyes are heavy and dim; / Seam, and gusset, and band, / Band, and gusset, and seam, / Till over the buttons I fall asleep, / And sew them on in a dream.= _Hood._
=Works of true merit are seldom very popular in their own day; for knowledge is on the march, and men of genius are the "præstolatores" or "videttes," that are far in advance of their comrades. They are not with them, but before them; not in the camp, but beyond it.= _Colton._
=Worldly affairs, which my friends thought so= 10 =heavy upon me, they are most of them of our own making, and fall away as soon as we know ourselves.= _Law._
=Worldly riches are like nuts; many clothes are torn in getting them, many a tooth broke in cracking them, but never a belly filled with eating them.= _R. Venning._
=Worse than being fool'd / Of others, is to fool one's self.= _Tennyson._

=Would they could sell us experience, though at diamond prices, but then no one would use the article second-hand!= _Balzac._

=Wouldst thou know thyself, then see how others act; wouldst thou understand others, look thou into thine own heart.= _Schiller._

=Write, so much given to God; thou shalt be= 40 =heard.= _George Herbert._
=Write thy wrongs in ashes.= _Sir T. Browne._
=Writers of novels and romances in general bring a double loss on their readers--they rob them both of their time and money; representing men, manners, and things, that never have been, nor are likely to be; either confounding or perverting history and truth, inflating the mind, or committing violence upon the understanding.= _Mary Wortley Montagu._
=Writing is not literature unless it gives to the reader a pleasure which arises not only from the things said, but from the way in which they are said; and that pleasure is only given when the words are carefully or curiously or beautifully put together into sentences.= _Stopford Brooke._

=Wrong is not only different from right, but it is in strict scientific terms infinitely different.= _Carlyle._
=Wrongs are often forgiven, but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it for ever. It implies a discovery of weaknesses, which we are much more careful to conceal than crimes. Many a man will confess his crimes to a common friend, but I never knew a man who would tell his silly weaknesses to his most intimate one.= _Chesterfield._

=Ye shall know them by their fruits.= _Jesus._
=Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven!...
