A string of pearls: a woman who goes beyond that's in danger A wound of the same kind that we are inflicting A sixpence kindly meant is worth any crown-piece that's grudged A share of pity for the objects she despised A style of affable omnipotence about the wise youth A dumb tongue can be a heavy liar A male devotee is within an inch of a miracle A night that had shivered repose A madman gets madder when you talk reason to him A youth who is engaged in the occupation of eating his heart A bone in a boy's mind for him to gnaw and worry A kindly sense of superiority A high wind will make a dead leaf fly like a bird A witty woman is a treasure; a witty Beauty is a power A kind of anchorage in case of indiscretion A tragic comedian: that is, a grand pretender, a self-deceiver A great oration may be a sedative A country of compromise goes to pieces at the first cannon-shot A lady's company-smile A superior position was offered her by her being silent A whisper of cajolery in season is often the secret A contented Irishman scarcely seems my countryman A woman who has mastered sauces sits on the apex of civilization A man who rejected medicine in extremity A maker of Proverbs--what is he but a narrow mind wit A dash of conventionalism makes the whole civilized world kin A lover must have his delusions, just as a man must have a skin A cloud of millinery shoots me off a mile from a woman A tear would have overcome him--She had not wept A fleet of South-westerly rainclouds had been met in mid-sky A common age once, when he married her; now she had grown old A fortress face; strong and massive, and honourable in ruin A very doubtful benefit A generous enemy is a friend on the wrong side A woman's at the core of every plot man plotteth A marriage without love is dishonour A plunge into the deep is of little moment A woman is hurt if you do not confide to her your plans A wise man will not squander his laughter if he can help it A woman rises to her husband. But a man is what he is A stew's a stew, and not a boiling to shreds A man to be trusted with the keys of anything A bird that won't roast or boil or stew A female free-thinker is one of Satan's concubines A free-thinker startles him as a kind of demon A woman, and would therefore listen to nonsense Abject sense of the lack of a circumference Above Nature, I tell him, or, we shall be very much below Above all things I detest the writing for money Absolute freedom could be the worst of perils Accidents are the specific for averting the maladies of age Accounting for it, is not the same as excusing Accounting his tight blue tail coat and brass buttons a victory Accustomed to be paid for by his country Acting is not of the high class which conceals the art Active despair is a passion that must be superseded Add on a tired pipe after dark, and a sound sleep to follow Adept in the lie implied Admirable scruples of an inveterate borrower Admiration of an enemy or oppressor doing great deeds Admires a girl when there's no married woman or widow in sight Adversary at once offensive and helpless provokes brutality Advised not to push at a shut gate Affected misapprehensions Affectedly gentle and unusually roundabout opening After five years of marriage, and twelve of friendship After a big blow, a very little one scarcely counts After forty, men have married their habits Agostino was enjoying the smoke of paper cigarettes Ah! we fall into their fictions Ah! how sweet to waltz through life with the right partner Ah! we're in the enemy's country now Aimlessness of a woman's curiosity Alike believe that Providence is for them All passed too swift for happiness All are friends who sit at table All concessions to the people have been won from fear All flattery is at somebody's expense All of us an ermined owl within us to sit in judgement All women are the same--Know one, know all All that Matey and Browny were forbidden to write they looked Allowed silly sensitiveness to prevent the repair Although it blew hard when Caesar crossed the Rubicon Always the shout for more produced it ("News") Am I ill? I must be hungry! Am I thy master, or thou mine? Americans forgivingly remember, without mentioning Amiable mirror as being wilfully ruffled to confuse Among boys there are laws of honour and chivalrous codes Amused after their tiresome work of slaughter An old spoiler of women is worse than one spoiled by them! An obedient creature enough where he must be An edge to his smile that cuts much like a sneer An angry woman will think the worst An incomprehensible world indeed at the bottom and at the top An instinct labouring to supply the deficiencies of stupidity And her voice, against herself, was for England And, ladies, if you will consent to be likened to a fruit And so Farewell my young Ambition! and with it farewell all true And now came war, the purifier and the pestilence And to these instructions he gave an aim: "First be virtuous" And life said, Do it, and death said, To what end? And never did a stroke of work in my life And not any of your grand ladies can match my wife at home And one gets the worst of it (in any bargain) And he passed along the road, adds the Philosopher And it's one family where the dog is pulled by the collar And not be beaten by an acknowledged defeat Anecdotist to slaughter families for the amusement Anguish to think of having bent the knee for nothing Anticipate opposition by initiating measures Any excess pushes to craziness Any man is in love with any woman Appealed to reason in them; he would not hear of convictions Appetite to flourish at the cost of the weaker Arch-devourer Time Are we practical?' penetrates the bosom of an English audience Aristocratic assumption of licence Arm'd with Fear the Foe finds passage to the vital part Arrest the enemy by vociferations of persistent prayer Art of speaking on politics tersely Art of despising what he coveted As faith comes--no saying how; one swears by them As for comparisons, they are flowers thrown into the fire As in all great oratory! The key of it is the pathos As the Lord decided, so it would end! "Oh, delicious creed!" As to wit, the sneer is the cloak of clumsiness As fair play as a woman's lord could give her As when nations are secretly preparing for war As if she had never heard him previously enunciate the formula As secretive as they are sensitive As well ask (women) how a battle-field concerns them! As becomes them, they do not look ahead As for titles, the way to defend them is to be worthy of them As if the age were the injury! As little trouble as the heath when the woods are swept Ashamed of letting his ears be filled with secret talk Ask pardon of you, without excusing myself Ask not why, where reason never was Assist in our small sphere; not come mouthing to the footlights At war with ourselves, means the best happiness we can have At the age of forty, men that love love rootedly Attacked my conscience on the cowardly side Automatic creature is subject to the laws of its construction Avoid the position that enforces publishing Back from the altar to discover that she has chained herself Bad laws are best broken Bad luck's not repeated every day Keep heart for the good Bade his audience to beware of princes Bandied the weariful shuttlecock of gallantry Barriers are for those who cannot fly Be the woman and have the last word! Be on your guard the next two minutes he gets you alone Be good and dull, and please everybody Be philosophical, but accept your personal dues Be what you seem, my little one Be politic and give her elbow-room for her natural angles Bear in mind that we are sentimentalists--The eye is our servant Beauchamp's career Beautiful women may believe themselves beloved Beautiful women in her position provoke an intemperateness Beautiful servicelessness Beauty is rare; luckily is it rare Because you loved something better than me Because men can't abide praise of another man Because he stood so high with her now he feared the fall Becoming air of appropriation that made it family history Bed was a rock of refuge and fortified defence Began the game of Pull Beginning to have a movement to kiss the whip Behold the hero embarked in the redemption of an erring beauty Being in heart and mind the brother to the sister with women Being heard at night, in the nineteenth century Belief in the narrative by promoting nausea in the audience Believed in her love, and judged it by the strength of his own Bent double to gather things we have tossed away Better for men of extremely opposite opinions not to meet Between love grown old and indifference ageing to love Beware the silent one of an assembly! Beyond a plot of flowers, a gold-green meadow dipped to a ridge Bitten hard at experience, and know the value of a tooth Borrower to be dancing on Fortune's tight-rope above the old abyss Botched mendings will only make them worse Bound to assure everybody at table he was perfectly happy Bounds of his intelligence closed their four walls Boys who can appreciate brave deeds are capable of doing them Boys, of course--but men, too! Boys are unjust Braggadocioing in deeds is only next bad to mouthing it Brains will beat Grim Death if we have enough of them Brief negatives are not re-assuring to a lover's uneasy mind British hunger for news; second only to that for beef Brittle is foredoomed Brotherhood among the select who wear masks instead of faces But great, powerful London--the new universe to her spirit But the key to young men is the ambition, or, in the place of it..... But to strangle craving is indeed to go through a death But a woman must now and then ingratiate herself But a great success is full of temptations But is there such a thing as happiness But what is it we do (excepting cricket, of course) But the flower is a thing of the season; the flower drops off But love for a parent is not merely duty But they were a hopeless couple, they were so friendly But I leave it to you But you must be beautiful to please some men But had sunk to climb on a firmer footing By nature incapable of asking pardon By forbearance, put it in the wrong By resisting, I made him a tyrant By our manner of loving we are known Cajoled like a twenty-year-old yahoo at college Call of the great world's appetite for more (Invented news) Calm fanaticism of the passion of love Can you not be told you are perfect without seeking to improve Can a man go farther than his nature?

How immensely nature seems to prefer men to women! How angry I should be with you if you were not so beautiful! How little we mean to do harm when we do an injury How to compromise the matter for the sake of peace? How many degrees from love gratitude may be Hug the hatred they packed up among their bundles Human nature to feel an interest in the dog that has bitten you Humour preserved her from excesses of sentiment Huntress with few scruples and the game unguarded Hushing together, they agreed that it had been a false move I rather like to hear a woman swear.

'I told a lie.' I am not ashamed I was discontented, and could not speak my discontent I never saw out of a doll-shop, and never saw there I beg of my husband, and all kind people who may have the care I can't think brisk out of my breeches I have learnt as much from light literature as from heavy I had to cross the park to give a lesson I 'm a bachelor, and a person--you're married, and an object I cannot live a life of deceit. A life of misery--not deceit I am a discordant instrument I do not readily vibrate I take off my hat, Nan, when I see a cobbler's stall I always wait for a thing to happen first I never see anything, my dear I know nothing of imagination I never knew till this morning the force of No in earnest I can pay clever gentlemen for doing Greek for me I do not see it, because I will not see it I wanted a hero I do not think Frenchmen comparable to the women of France I cannot say less, and will say no more I baint done yet I detest enthusiasm I make a point of never recommending my own house I laughed louder than was necessary I hate sleep: I hate anything that robs me of my will I don't count them against women (moods) I have and hold--you shall hunger and covet I give my self, I do not sell I'll come as straight as I can I'm for a rational Deity I'm in love with everything she wishes! I've got the habit Idea is the only vital breath Ideas in gestation are the dullest matter you can have If the world is hostile we are not to blame it If you have this creative soul, be the slave of your creature If I love you, need you care what anybody else thinks If I do not speak of payment If there's no doubt about it, how is it I have a doubt about it? If you kneel down, who will decline to put a foot on you? If we are robbed, we ask, How came we by the goods? If we are really for Nature, we are not lawless If he had valued you half a grain less, he might have won you If thou wouldst fix remembrance--thwack! If I'm struck, I strike back If only been intellectually a little flexible in his morality If we are to please you rightly, always allow us to play First Ignorance roaring behind a mask of sarcasm Imagination she has, for a source of strength in the future days Immense wealth and native obtuseness combine to disfigure us Imparting the usual chorus of yesses to his own mind Impossible for us women to comprehend love without folly in man Impossible for him to think that women thought Impudent boy's fling at superiority over the superior In Italy, a husband away, ze friend takes title In truth she sighed to feel as he did, above everybody In Sir Austin's Note-book was written: "Between Simple Boyhood..." In our House, my son, there is peculiar blood. We go to wreck! In India they sacrifice the widows, in France the virgins In every difficulty, patience is a life-belt In the pay of our doctors In bottle if not on draught (oratory) Incapable of putting the screw upon weak excited nature Incessantly speaking of the necessity we granted it unknowingly Inclined to act hesitation in accepting the aid she sought Increase of dissatisfaction with the more she got Indirect communication with heaven Inducement to act the hypocrite before the hypocrite world Indulged in their privilege of thinking what they liked Infallibility of our august mother Infants are said to have their ideas, and why not young ladies? Infatuated men argue likewise, and scandal does not move them Inferences are like shadows on the wall Inflicted no foretaste of her coming subjection to him Informed him that he never played jokes with money, or on men Injury forbids us to be friends again Innocence and uncleanness may go together Insistency upon there being two sides to a case--to every case Intellectual contempt of easy dupes Intensely communicative, but inarticulate Intentions are really rich possessions Intimations of cowardice menacing a paralysis of the will Intrusion of hard material statements, facts Intrusion of the spontaneous on the stereotyped would clash Invite indecision to exhaust their scruples Ireland 's the sore place of England Irishman there is a barrow trolling a load of grievances Irishmen will never be quite sincere Ironical fortitude Irony instead of eloquence Irony in him is only eulogy standing on its head Irony provoked his laughter more than fun Irony that seemed to spring from aversion Irritability at the intrusion of past disputes Is not one month of brightness as much as we can ask for? Is it any waste of time to write of love? Is he jealous? 'Only when I make him, he is.'

What a stock of axioms young people have handy What the world says, is what the wind says What was this tale of Emilia, that grew more and more perplexing What he did, she took among other inevitable matters What a woman thinks of women, is the test of her nature What ninnies call Nature in books What might have been What's an eccentric? a child grown grey! When we see our veterans tottering to their fall When he's a Christian instead of a Churchman When you run away, you don't live to fight another day When Love is hurt, it is self-love that requires the opiate When to loquacious fools with patience rare I listen When testy old gentlemen could commit slaughter with ecstasy When we despair or discolour things, it is our senses in revolt When you have done laughing with her, you can laugh at her When duelling flourished on our land, frail women powerful Where one won't and can't, poor t' other must Where fools are the fathers of every miracle Where love exists there is goodness Where she appears, the first person falls to second rank Where heart weds mind, or nature joins intellect Whimpering fits you said we enjoy and must have in books Who beguiles so much as Self? Who shuns true friends flies fortune in the concrete Who venerate when they love Who rises from Prayer a better man, his prayer is answered Who cannot talk!--but who can? Who so intoxicated as the convalescent catching at health? Who in a labyrinth wandereth without clue Who cries, Come on, and prays his gods you won't Who shrinks from an hour that is suspended in doubt Who enjoyed simple things when commanding the luxuries Who ever loved that loved not at first sight? Who can really think, and not think hopefully? Whole body of fanatics combined to precipitate the devotion Whose bounty was worse to him than his abuse Why he enjoyed the privilege of seeing, and was not beside her Why, he'll snap your head off for a word Why should these men take so much killing? Wife and no wife, a prisoner in liberty Wilfrid perceived that he had become an old man Will not admit the existence of a virtue in an opposite opinion William John Fleming was simply a poor farmer Win you--temperately, let us hope; by storm, if need be Winds of panic are violently engaged in occupying the vacuum Wins everywhere back a reflection of its own kindliness Winter mornings are divine. They move on noiselessly Wise in not seeking to be too wise With what little wisdom the world is governed With a proud humility With one idea, we see nothing--nothing but itself With a frozen fish of admirable principles for wife With good wine to wash it down, one can swallow anything With death; we'd rather not, because of a qualm With that I sail into the dark With this money, said the demon, you might speculate Withdrew into the entrenchments of contempt Without a single intimation that he loathed the task Without those consolatory efforts, useless between men Wits, which are ordinarily less productive than land Wives are only an item in the list, and not the most important Woman finds herself on board a rudderless vessel Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man Woman descending from her ideal to the gross reality of man Woman's precious word No at the sentinel's post, and alert Women are happier enslaved Women are taken to be the second thoughts of the Creator Women with brains, moreover, are all heartless Women must not be judging things out of their sphere Women don't care uncommonly for the men who love them Women treat men as their tamed housemates Women are wonderfully quick scholars under ridicule Women and men are in two hostile camps Women are swift at coming to conclusions in these matters Won't do to be taking in reefs on a lee-shore Wonderment that one of her sex should have ideas Wooing a good man for his friendship Wooing her with dog's eyes instead of words Work of extravagance upon perceptibly plain matter Work is medicine World voluntarily opens a path to those who step determinedly World cannot pardon a breach of continuity World is ruthless, dear friends, because the world is hypocrite World against us It will not keep us from trying to serve World prefers decorum to honesty Would he see what he aims at? let him ask his heels Would like to feel he was doing a bit of good Wrapped in the comfort of his cowardice Writer society delights in, to show what it is composed of Yawns coming alarmingly fast, in the place of ideas Years are the teachers of the great rocky natures Yet, though Angels smile, shall not Devils laugh You want me to flick your indecision You saw nothing but handkerchiefs out all over the theatre You are to imagine that they know everything You can master pain, but not doubt You may learn to know yourself through love You do want polish You who may have cared for her through her many tribulations, have no fear You choose to give yourself to an obscure dog You are not married, you are simply chained You played for gain, and that was a licenced thieving You talk your mother with a vengeance You have not to be told that I desire your happiness above all You are entreated to repress alarm You accuse or you exonerate--Nobody can be half guilty You rides when you can, and you walks when you must You beat me with the fists, but my spirit is towering You'll have to guess at half of everything he tells you You'll tell her you couldn't sit down in her presence undressed You're going to be men, meaning something better than women You're a rank, right-down widow, and no mistake You're talking to me, not to a gallery You're the puppet of your women! You've got no friend but your bed Young as when she looked upon the lovers in Paradise Your devotion craves an enormous exchange Youth will not believe that stupidity and beauty can go together Youth is not alarmed by the sound of big sums
