Life would be nothing without
paper-credit

Life is maintained by the respiration
of oxygen and of sentiment

Like taking the cat in your lap after
holding a squirrel

Listen to what others say about
subjects you have studied

Little great man

Little muscle which knows its
importance

Little narrow streaks of specialized
knowledge

Live on the reputation of the
reputation they might have made

Living in a narrow world of dry habits

Logic

Logicians carry the surveyor's chain
over the track

Long illness is the real vampyrism

Look through the silvered rings of the
arcus senilis!

Love must be either rich or rosy

Love is sparingly soluble in the words
of men

Love-capacity is a congenital endowment

Lying is unprofitable

Made up your mind to do when you ask
them for advice

Man of family

Man who means to be honest for a
literary pickpocket

Man is father to the boy that was

Man's and a woman's dusting a library

Man's first life-story shall clean him
out, so to speak

Mathematical fact

May doubt everything to-day if I will
only do it civilly

Meaningless blushing

Mechanical invention had exhausted
itself

Memory is a net

Men that know everything except how to
make a living

Men grow sweet a little while before
they begin to decay

Men of facts wait their turn in grim
silence

Men who have found new occupations when
growing old

Men that it weakens one to talk with an
hour

Men are fools, cowards, and liars all
at once

Might have hired an EARTHQUAKE for less
money!

Moralist and occasional sermonizer

Most of our common, working beliefs are
probabilities

Moved as if all her articulations were
elbow-joints

Much ashamed of some people for
retaining their reason

Must not read such a string of verses
too literally

Must sail sometimes with the wind and
sometimes against it

Must be weaned from his late suppers
now

Napoleon's test

Nature dresses and undresses them

Nature, who always has her pockets full
of seeds

Nearest approach to flying that man has
ever made

Neither make too much of flaws or
overstatements

Never forget where they have put their
money

No families take so little medicine as
those of doctors

No fresh truth ever gets into a book

No man knows his own voice

Nobody is so old he doesn't think he
can live a year

None of my business to inquire what
other persons think
