“A thorough-paced knave will rarely quarrel with one whom he can cheat: his revenge is plunder; therefore he is usually the most forgiving of beings, upon the principle that if he come to an open rupture, he must defend himself; and this does not suit a man whose vocation it is to keep his hands in the pocket of another.” IfsMenDoeHandsPrinciplesForgivingRevengeSuitsPocketsCheatVocationQuarrelsThoroughPlunderKnavesRuptureKnavery Book:Lacon: Or Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those who Think Source: Lacon: Or Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those who Think
“I have been so great a lover: filled my days So proudly with the splendour of Love's praise, The pain, the calm, and the astonishment, Desire illimitable, and silent content, And all dear names men use, to cheat despair, For the perplexed and viewless streams that bear Our hearts at random down the dark of life.” MenLifeHeartHas BeensUsePainDesireNamesDarkBearsLoversDespairPraiseFilledSilentCalmDearStreamsCheatAstonishmentSplendourPerplexed Book:Delphi Complete Works of Rupert Brooke (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Rupert Brooke (Illustrated)
