Washington Irving (American - Writer)
April 3, 1783 - November 28, 1859
There is never jealousy where there is not strong regard.
They who drink beer will think beer.
Great minds have purposes; others have wishes.
Christmas is a season for kindling the fire for hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.
There is certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place.
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.
Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.
Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.
Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above them.
A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.
