Plantin' and readin', plantin' and readin'. Fill a man full of lead, stick 'em in the ground, and then read words on 'em. Why when... ya killed a man, why try to read the Lord in as a partner on the job.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined,... With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Firm, faithful, and devoted, full of energy and zeal, and truth, he labours for his race; he clears their painful way to improveme...nt; he hews down like a giant the prejudices of creed and caste that encumber it. He may be stern; he may be exacting; he may be ambitious yet; but his is the sternness of the warrior Greatheart, who guards his pilgrim convoy from the onslaught of Apollyon. His is the exaction of the apostle, who speaks but for Christ, when he says, "Whosoever will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me." His is the ambition of the high master-spirit, which aims to fill a place in the first rank of those who are redeemed from the earth--who stand without fault before the throne of God, who share the last mighty victories of the Lamb, who are called, and chosen, and faithful.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I have often been downcast, but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the sa...me time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There was ... a large, shaggy dog, whose nose, report said, was full of porcupine quills. I can testify that he looked very sober.... This is the usual fortune of pioneer dogs, for they have to face the brunt of the battle for their race.... When a generation or two have used up all their enemies' darts, their successors lead a comparatively easy life. We owe to our fathers analogous blessings.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The profession I chose was politics; the profession I entered was the law. I entered the one because I thought it would lead to th...e other. It was once the same road; and Congress is [s]till full of lawyers.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
That's a sucker game, Doc. There's probably fifty fellows around town just waitin' to see you get liquored up, so they can fill ya... full of holes. Build themselves up a great reputation--the man that killed Doc Holliday.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,... And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood, Stop up th'access and passage to remorse, That no compunctious visitings of nature Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between Th'effect and it. Come to my woman's breasts, And take my milk for gall, you murd'ring ministers, Wherever in your sightless substances You wait on nature's mischief.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It was because of me. Rumors reached Inman that I had made a deal with Bob Dole whereby Dole would fill a paper sack full of doggi...e poo, set it on fire, put it on Inman's porch, ring the doorbell, and then we would hide in the bushes and giggle when Inman came to stamp out the fire. I am not proud of this. But this is what we do in journalism.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
