In winter, when the dismal rain comes down in slanting lines, and wind, that grand old harper, smote his thunder-harp of pines (Alexander Smith Quotes)
We twain have met like the ships upon the sea, who hold an hour's converse, so short, so sweet; one little hour! And then, away they speed on lonely paths, through mist and cloud and foam, to meet no more (Alexander Smith Quotes)
Each time we love, we turn a nearer and a broader mark to that keen archer, sorrow, and he strikes (Alexander Smith Quotes)
In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine october, when the trees are bare to the mild heavens, and the red leaves bestrew the road, and you can feel the breath of winter, morning and evening? No days so calm, so tenderly solemn, and with such a reverent meekness in the air (Alexander Smith Quotes)
How beautiful the yesterday that stood over me like a rainbow! I am alone, the past is past. I see the future stretch all dark and barren as a rainy sea (Alexander Smith Quotes)

Not on the stage alone, in the world also, a man's real character comes out best in his asides (Alexander Smith Quotes)
Fame is but an inscription on a grave, and glory the melancholy blazon on a coffin lid (Alexander Smith Quotes)
Your death and my death are mainly of importance to ourselves. The black plumes will be stripped off our hearses within the hour; tears will dry, hurt hearts close again, our graves grow level with the church yard, and although we are away, the world wags on. It does not miss us; and those who are near us, when the first strangeness of vacancy wears off, will not miss us much either (Alexander Smith Quotes)
Vanity in its idler moments is benevolent, is as willing to give pleasure as to take it, and accepts as sufficient reward for its services a kind word or an approving smile (Alexander Smith Quotes)
Yet through all, we know this tangled skein is in the hands of one who sees the end from the beginning; he shall yet unravel all (Alexander Smith Quotes)
Speak no harsh, words of Earth; she is our mother, and few of us her sons who have not added a wrinkle to her brow (Alexander Smith Quotes)
Men praise poverty, as the African worships mumbo jumbo - from terror of the malign power, and a desire to propitiate at (Alexander Smith Quotes)
He told me once the saddest thing that can befall the soul, is when it loses faith in God and woman, for he had lost them both. Lost I those gems, though the world's throne stood open in my path, I would go wandering back into my childhood, searching for them with tears (Alexander Smith Quotes)
The peasant thanked her with their tears, when food and clothes were given; this is a joy, the lady said, saints cannot taste in heaven (Alexander Smith Quotes)
To bring the best human qualities to anything like perfection, to fill them with the sweet juices of courtesy and charity, prosperity, or, at all events, a moderate amount of it, is required, - just as sunshine is needed for the ripening of peaches and apricots (Alexander Smith Quotes)
As a wild maiden, with love-drinking eyes, sees in sweet dreams a beaming youth of glory (Alexander Smith Quotes)
I clasp thy waist, I feel thy bosom's beat - oh, kiss me into faintness sweet and dim! (Alexander Smith Quotes)
Thoughts must come naturally, like wild-flowers; they cannot be forced in a hot-bed, even although aided by the leaf-mould of your past (Alexander Smith Quotes)
God is a worker: he has thickly strewn infinity with grandeur: God is love: he shall wipe away creation's tears, and all the worlds shall summer in his smile (Alexander Smith Quotes)
A man can bear a world's contempt when he has that within which says he's worthy. When he contemns himself, there burns the hell (Alexander Smith Quotes)
We twain have met like the ships upon the sea, who behold an hour's converse, so short, so sweet: one little hour! And then, away they speed on lonely paths, through mist, and cloud, and foam, to meet no more (Alexander Smith Quotes)
In winter, when the dismal rain came down in slanting lines, and wind, that grand old harper, smote his thunder-harp of pines (Alexander Smith Quotes)
I have learned to prize the quiet, lightning deed, not the applauding thunder at its heels that men call fame (Alexander Smith Quotes)
Eternity doth wear upon her face the veil of time. They only see the veil, and thus they know not what they stand so near! (Alexander Smith Quotes)
Pride's chickens have bonny feathers, but they are an expensive brood to rear. They eat up everything, and are always lean when brought to market (Alexander Smith Quotes)
The pleased sea on a white-breasted shore - a shore that wears on her alluring brows rare shells, far brought, the love-gifts of the sea, that blushed a tell-tale (Alexander Smith Quotes)
The sun was down, and all the West was paved with sullen fire. I cried, behold! The barren beach of hell at ebb of tide (Alexander Smith Quotes)
The truly great rest in the knowledge of their own deserts, nor seek the conformation of the world (Alexander Smith Quotes)
