Consonants, you know pretty much where you stood, but you could never trust a vowel (Wels Quotes)

Her godmother simply touched her with her wand, and, at the same moment, her clothes were turned into cloth of gold and silver, all decked with jewels (Wels Quotes)
Out of the simple consonants of the alphabet and our eleven vowels and diphthongs all possible syllables of a certain sort were constructed, a vowel sound being placed between two consonants (Wels Quotes)
Helmet was joined to helmet, and spear to spear, and jewels, baggage, and elephants without number went with them, and you would have said it was a host that none could understand (Wels Quotes)
She lunched on papaya poo poo or mango mu mu or some other fruity foo foo bursting with overripe tropical vowels (Wels Quotes)

It was as though he had cut up the sky, melted down a flower garden, tossed in some jewels and made it into glass (Wels Quotes)
Just be ordinary and nothing special. Eat your food, move your bowels, pass water, and when you’re tired, go and lie down. The ignorant will laugh at me, but the wise will understand (Wels Quotes)

I won’t slave for beggar’s pay, likewise gold and jewels, but I would slave to learn the way, to sink your ship of fools (Wels Quotes)
You may have tangible wealth untold, caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you could never be; I know someone who told stories to me (Wels Quotes)
Posterity preserves only what will pack into small compass. Jewels are handed down from age to age; less portable valuables disappear (Wels Quotes)
