It is a characteristic of pleasure that we can never recognize it to be pleasure till after it is gone  (Alexander Smith Quotes) The trees were gazing up into the sky, their bare arms stretched in prayer for the snows  (Alexander Smith Quotes) The garrulous sea is talking to the shore; let us go down and hear the graybeard's speech  (Alexander Smith Quotes) The greatness of an artist or a writer does not depend on what he has in common with other artists and writers, but on what he has peculiar to himself  (Alexander Smith Quotes) If we were to live here always, with no other care than how to feed, clothe, and house ourselves, life would be a very sorry business.

If we attempt to steal a glimpse of its features it disappears  (Alexander Smith Quotes) We have two lives; the soul of man is like the rolling world, one half in day, the other dipt in night; the one has music and the flying cloud, the other, silence and the wakeful stars  (Alexander Smith Quotes) The spot of ground on which a man has stood is forever interesting to him  (Alexander Smith Quotes) In my garden I spend my days, in my library I spend my nights. My interests are divided between my geraniums and my books. With the flower I am in the present; with the book I am in the past  (Alexander Smith Quotes) Memory is a mans real possession... in nothing else is he rich... in nothing else is he poor  (Alexander Smith Quotes) One never hugs one’s good luck so affectionately as when listening to the relation of some horrible misfortunes which has overtaken others  (Alexander Smith Quotes) It is not of so much consequence what you say, as how you say it. Memorable sentences are memorable on account of some single irradiating word  (Alexander Smith Quotes) The globe has been circumnavigated, but no man ever yet has; you may survey a kingdom and note the result in maps, but all the savants in the world could not produce a reliable map of the poorest human personality  (Alexander Smith Quotes) A man gazing at the stars is proverbially at the mercy of the puddles in the road  (Alexander Smith Quotes) My garden, with its silence and pulses of fragrance that come and go on the airy undulations, affects me like sweet music. Care stops at the gates, and gazes at me wistfully through the bars  (Alexander Smith Quotes) A thought may be very commendable as a thought, but I value it chiefly as a window through which I can obtain insight on the thinker  (Alexander Smith Quotes) Looking forward into an empty year strikes one with a certain awe, because one finds therein no recognition. The years behind have a friendly aspect, and they are warmed by the fires we have kindled, and all their echoes are the echoes of our own voices  (Alexander Smith Quotes)
