Martin Tupper
» Anger » “Anger is a noble infirmity; the generous failing of the just; the one degree that riseth above zeal, asserting the prerogative of virtue.”
» Books and Reading » “A good book is the best of friends, the same today and for ever.”
» Memory » “Memory is not wisdom; idiots can by rote repeat volumes. Yet what is wisdom without memory?”
» Pain » “Pain adds rest unto pleasure, and teaches the luxury of health.”
» Prayer » “Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.”
» Ridicule » “Ridicule is a weak weapon when pointed at a strong mind; but common people are cowards and dread an empty laugh.”
