Go pretty rose, go to my fair, go tell her all I fain would dare, tell her of hope; tell her of spring, tell her of all I fain would sing, oh! Were I like thee, so fair a thing Picture Quote #1

Fain would I glide down a gentle river, but I am carried away by a torrent Picture Quote #1

In its entirety, probably, it follows us at every instant; all that we have felt, thought and willed from our earliest infancy is there, leaning over the present which is about to join it, pressing against the portals of consciousness that would fain leave it outside Picture Quote #1

The new friends whom we make after attaining a certain age and by whom we would fain replace those whom we have lost, are to our old friends what glass eyes, false teeth and wooden legs are to real eyes, natrual teeth and legs of flesh and bone Picture Quote #1

Even death itself sometimes fails to bring the dignity and serenity which one would fain associate with old age Picture Quote #1

Criticism discloses that which it would fain conceal, but conceals that which it professes to disclose; it is therefore, read by the discerning, not to discover the merits of an author, but the motives of his critic Picture Quote #1

A boy is a long time before he knows his alphabet, longer before he has learned to spell, and perhaps several years before he can read distinctly; and yet there are some people who, as soon as they get on a horse, entirely undressed and untaught, fancy that by beating and spurring they will make him a dressed horse in one morning only. I would fain ask such stupid people whether by beating a boy they would teach him to read without first showing him the alphabet? Sure, they would beat him to death, before they would make him read Picture Quote #1

Fain would we remain barbarians, if our claim to civilization were to be based on the gruesome glory of war Picture Quote #1

My god! O let me call thee mine! Weak, wretched sinner though I be, my trembling soul would fain be thine, my feeble faith still clings to thee Picture Quote #1

I have lived long enough. My way of life is fall'n into the sear, the yellow leaf, and that which should accompany old age, as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have; but, in their stead, curses not loud but deep, mouth honor, breath, which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not Picture Quote #1

We do what we must, and call it by the best names we can, and would fain have the praise of having intended the result which ensues Picture Quote #1

When a whole nation is roaring patriotism at the top of it's voice, I am fain to explore the cleanness of it's hands and purity of it's heart Picture Quote #1

Men think that self-sacrifice is the most charming of all the cardinal virtues for women, and in order to keep it in healthy working order, they make opportunities for it's illustration as often as possible. I would fain teach women that self-development is a higher duty than self-sacrifice Picture Quote #1

I would forget it fain; but, o, it presses to my memory, like damned guilty deeds to a sinners mind Picture Quote #1

The criminals came in so fast that they were fain to execute them first and afterwards try them at leisure Picture Quote #1

The place is all awave with trees, limes, myrtles, purple beaded, acacias having drunk the lees Of the night dew, fain headed, and wan, grey olive woods, which seem the fittest foliage for a dream Picture Quote #1
