--HOLMES.
We may scatter the seeds of courtesy and kindness around us at so
little expense. Some of them will inevitably fall on good ground, and
grow up into benevolence in the minds of others: and all of them will
bear fruit of happiness in the bosom whence they spring.--BENTHAM.
There is no beautifier of complexion or form or behavior like the
wish to scatter joy, and not pain, around us.--EMERSON.
KISSES.--A kiss from my mother made me a painter.--BENJAMIN WEST.
It is the passion that is in a kiss that gives to it its sweetness; it
is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it.--BOVEE.
It is as old as the creation, and yet as young and fresh as ever. It
pre-existed, still exists, and always will exist. Depend upon it, Eve
learned it in Paradise, and was taught its beauties, virtues, and
varieties by an angel, there is something so transcendent in it.
--HALIBURTON.
Four sweet lips, two pure souls, and one undying affection,--these are
love's pretty ingredients for a kiss.--BOVEE.
You would think, if our lips were made of horn and stuck out a foot or
two from our faces, kisses at any rate would be done for. Not so. No
creatures kiss each other so much as the birds.--CHARLES BUXTON.
KNOWLEDGE.--Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or
we know where we can find information upon it.--BOSWELL.
If we do not plant knowledge when young, it will give us no shade when
we are old.
