own minds

At the mercy of every superior mind

Audacious self-esteem, with good ground
for it

Automatic and involuntary actions of
the mind

Babbage's calculating machine

Be very careful to whom you trust one
of these keys

Beautiful effects from wit,--all the
prismatic colors

Been in the same precise circumstances
before

Behave like men and gentlemen about it,
if you know how.

Beliefs are rooted in human wants and
weakness, and die hard

Bells which small trades-people connect
with their shop-doors

Better for mankind,--and all the worse
for the fishes

Better too few words, from the woman we
love

Bewitching cup of self-quackery

Bill which will render pockets a
superfluity in your next suit

Blank checks of intellectual bankruptcy

Bowing and nodding over the music

Brain often runs away with the heart's
best blood

Brilliant flashes--of silence!

Brute beasts of the intellectual domain

Bury in it beliefs, doubts, dreams,
hopes, and terrors

But we must sail, and not drift, nor
lie at anchor.

But it was in talking of Life that we
came most nearly together

Called an old man for the first time

Character is distinctly shown at the
age of four months.

Cigar

Clairvoyance which sees into things
without opening them

Code of finalities is a necessary
condition of profitable talk

Cold shower-bath the world furnishes
gratis

Comfort is essential to enjoyment

Commerce is just putting his granite
foot upon them

Common sense, as you understand it.

Common sense was good enough for him

Compare the racer with the trotter

Conceit is just a natural thing to
human minds

Conceit has the virtue of making them
cheerful

Conclusion that he or she is really
dull

Conflicting advice of all manner of
officious friends

Consciousness of carrying a "settler"
in the form of a fact

Controversy

Conversation which is suggestive rather
than argumentative

Conversational fungi spring up most
luxuriantly

Conversational bully

Conversational blank checks or counters

Conversational soprano

Creative action is not voluntary at all

Crippled souls

Crow with a king-bird after him

Cut your climate to your constitution

Dangerous subjects

Demand for intellectual labor is so
enormous

Did I believe in love at first sight?

Didn't know Truth was such an invalid

Differ on the fundamental principles

Dishwater from the washings of Englis
