carry happiness into our condition

We don't read what we don't like

We never tell our secrets to people
that pump for them.

Wedded, faded away, threw themselves
away

Wedding-ring conveys a right to a key
to this side-door

Weeded their circle pretty well of
these unfortunates

What a satire, by the way, is that
machine

What are the great faults of
conversation?

Whether anything can be conscious of
its own flavor??

Whether gifted with the accident of
beauty or not

While she is silent, Nature is working
for her

Who is in advance of it or even with it

Wholesale professional dealers in
misfortune

Why authors and actors are ashamed of
being funny?

Why did I not ask? you will say

Will you take the long path with me?

Winning-post a slab of white or gray
stone

Wit knows that his place is at the tail
of a procession.

Wonder how my great trees are coming on
this summer.

World calls him hard names, probably

World has a million roosts for a man,
but only one nest.

Yes, I am a man, like another

Young man knows the rules, but the old
man knows the exceptions

Youth and age--something in the soul
