In whom some good quality or other may not be discovered In those days men wept, as well as women In this immense temple man seemed a dwarf in his own eyes In our country it needs more courage to be a coward In war the fathers live to mourn for their slain sons Inn, was to be found about every eighteen miles Inquisitive eyes are intrusive company Introduced a regular system of taxation-Darius It is not seeing, it is seeking that is delightful It was such a comfort once more to obey an order It is not by enthusiasm but by tactics that we defeat a foe It is the passionate wish that gives rise to the belief Jealousy has a thousand eyes Judge only by appearances, and never enquire into the causes Kisra called wine the soap of sorrow Know how to honor beauty; and prove it by taking many wives Last Day we shall be called to account for every word we utter Laugh at him with friendly mockery, such as hurts no man Laughing before sunrise causes tears at evening Learn early to pass lightly over little things Learn to obey, that later you may know how to command Life is not a banquet Life is a function, a ministry, a duty Life is the fairest fairy tale (Anderson) Life is valued so much less by the young Life had fulfilled its pledges Like the cackle of hens, which is peculiar to Eastern women Like a clock that points to one hour while it strikes another Love has two faces: tender devotion and bitter aversion Love means suffering—those who love drag a chain with them Love which is able and ready to endure all things Love laughs at locksmiths Love is at once the easiest and the most difficult Love overlooks the ravages of years and has a good memory Loved himself too much to give his whole affection to any one Lovers delighted in nature then as now Lovers are the most unteachable of pupils Maid who gives hope to a suitor though she has no mind to hear Man, in short, could be sure of nothing Man works with all his might for no one but himself Man is the measure of all things Man has nothing harder to endure than uncertainty Many creditors are so many allies Many a one would rather be feared than remain unheeded Marred their best joy in life by over-hasty ire May they avoid the rocks on which I have bruised my feet Medicines work harm as often as good Men studying for their own benefit, not the teacher's Men folks thought more about me than I deemed convenient Mirrors were not allowed in the convent Misfortune too great for tears Misfortunes commonly come in couples yoked like oxen Misfortunes never come singly Money is a pass-key that turns any lock More to the purpose to think of the future than of the past Mosquito-tower with which nearly every house was provided Most ready to be angry with those to whom we have been unjust Multitude who, like the gnats, fly towards every thing brilliant Museum of Alexandria and the Library Must take care not to poison the fishes with it Must—that word is a ploughshare which suits only loose soil Natural impulse which moves all old women to favor lovers Nature is sufficient for us Never speaks a word too much or too little Never so clever as when we have to find excuses for our own sins Never to be astonished at anything No judgment is so hard as that dealt by a slave to slaves No man is more than man, and many men are less No man was allowed to ask anything of the gods for himself No good excepting that from which we expect the worst No, she was not created to grow old No happiness will thrive on bread and water
