Those who show pity and are always ready to help during times of trouble are seldom the same ones who rejoice in our joy: when oth...ers are happy they have nothing to do, they become superfluous and lose their feeling of superiority, and so they easily show their displeasure.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The opinion I have of the generality of women--who appear to me as children to whom I would rather give a sugar plum than my time,... forms a barrier against matrimony which I rejoice in.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have pr...ophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
No man worth his salt, no man of spirit and spine, no man for whom I could have any respect, could rejoice in the identification o...f Tallulah's husband. It's tough enough to be bogged down in a legend. It would be even tougher to marry one.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Don't order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple.... Be pa...tient with the poor people who will snivel: they don't know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
May all men rejoice in the pleasures of whores,... arranged in many crooked ways, yet they slake the thirst for the pleasures of sex.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Now, if the principle of toleration were once admitted into classical education--if it were admitted that the great object is to r...ead and enjoy a language, and the stress of the teaching were placed on the few things absolutely essential to this result, if the tortoise were allowed time to creep, and the bird permitted to fly, and the fish to swim, towards the enchanted and divine sources of Helicon--all might in their own way arrive there, and rejoice in its flowers, its beauty, and its coolness.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
