how to
set bounds to them
Sensible man, who has observed much and
speaks little
So much confidence at first, so much
doubt at las
Sullen tempers are excited by the
patience of their victims
The happiness of the wise man costs but
little
The man in power gives up his peace
Two thirds of human existence are
wasted in hesitation
Virtue made friends, but she did not
take pupils
We do not understand that others may
live on their own account
We are not bound to live, while we are
bound to do our duty
What have you done with the days God
granted you
What a small dwelling joy can live
You may know the game by the lair
A WOODLAND QUEEN, By Andre Theuriet
Accustomed to hide what I think
Amusements they offered were either
wearisome or repugnant
Consoled himself with one of the pious
commonplaces
Dreaded the monotonous regularity of
conjugal life
Fawning duplicity
Had not been spoiled by Fortune's gifts
How small a space man occupies on the
earth
Hypocritical grievances
I am not in the habit of consulting the
law
I measure others by myself
It does not mend matters to give way
like that
Like all timid persons, he took refuge
in a moody silence
More disposed to discover evil than
good
Nature's cold indifference to our
sufferings
Never is perfect happiness our lot
Opposing his orders with steady,
irritating inertia
Others found delight in the most
ordinary amusements
Plead the lie to get at the truth
Sensitiveness and disposition to
self-blame
The ease with which he is forgotten
There are some men who never have had
any childhood
Those who have outlived their illusions
Timidity of a night-bird that is made
to fly in the day
To make a will is to put one foot into
the grave
Toast and white wine (for breakfast)
Vague hope came over him that all would
come right
Vexed, act in direct contradiction to
their own wishes
Women: they are more bitter than death
Yield to their customs, and not
pooh-pooh their amusements
You have considerable patience for a
lover
You must be pleased with yourself--that
is more essential
