The love of a mother is never...

The love of a mother is never exhausted. It never changes - it never tires - it endures through all; in good repute, in bad repute. In the face of the world's condemnation, a mother's love still lives on.

He that drinks beer, thinks beer.

There is an enduring tenderness in the love of a mother to a son that trancends all other affections of the heart

The almighty dollar, that great object of universal devotion.

The only happy author in this world is he who is below the care of reputation.

Washington Irving 247 quotes

He who thinks much says but l...

He who thinks much says but little in proportion to his thoughts. He selects that language which will convey his ideas in the most explicit and direct manner. He tries to compress as much thought as possible into a few words. On the contrary, the man who talks everlastingly and promiscuously, who seems to have an exhaustless magazine of sound, crowds so many words into his thoughts that he always obscures, and very frequently conceals them.

Washington Irving 247 quotes

Those who are well assured of...

Those who are well assured of their own standing are least apt to trespass on that of others, whereas nothing is so offensive as the aspirings of vulgarity which thinks to elevate itself by humiliating its neighbor.

Washington Irving 247 quotes

Every desire bears its death ...

Every desire bears its death in its very gratification. Curiosity languishes under repeated stimulants, and novelties cease to excite and surprise, until at length we cannot wonder even at a miracle.

Washington Irving 247 quotes

History fades into fable; fac...

History fades into fable; fact becomes clouded with doubt and controversy; the inscription molders from the tablet: the statue falls from the pedestal. Columns, arches, pyramids, what are they but heaps of sand; and their epitaphs, but characters written in the dust?

Washington Irving 247 quotes

A father may turn his back on...

A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their husbands. But a mother's love endures through all; in good repute, in bad repute, in the face of the world's condemnation, a mother still loves on, and still hopes that her child may turn from his evil ways, and repent; still she remembers the infant smiles that once filled her bosom with rapture, the merry laugh, the joyful shout of his childhood, the opening promise of his youth; and she can never be brought to think him all unworthy.

Washington Irving 247 quotes

Christmas is here, Merry old ...

Christmas is here, Merry old Christmas, Gift-bearing Christmas, Day of grand memories, King of the year!

Washington Irving 247 quotes

He who would greatly deserve ...

He who would greatly deserve must greatly dare.

Washington Irving 247 quotes

How we delight to build our r...

How we delight to build our recollections upon some basis of reality,--a place, a country, a local habitation! how the events of life, as we look back upon them, have grown into the well-remembered background of the places where they fell upon us! Here is some sunny garden or summer lane, beautified and canonized forever, with the flood of a great joy; and here are dim and silent places,--rooms always shadowed and dark to us, whatever they may be to others,--where distress or death came once, and since then dwells forevermore.

Washington Irving 247 quotes

My father died and left me hi...

My father died and left me his blessing and his business. His blessing brought no money into my pocket, and as to his business, it soon deserted me, for I was busy writing poetry, and could not attend to law, and my clients, though they had great respect for my talents, had no faith in a poetical attorney.

Washington Irving 247 quotes

There is in every true woman'...

There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

Washington Irving 247 quotes

A tart temper never mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use.

Washington Irving 247 quotes

Marriage is the torment of one, the felicity of two, the strife and enmity of three.

Washington Irving 247 quotes

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

Washington Irving 247 quotes

Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above them.

A woman's whole life is a history of the affections.
