Top 5 quotes from Josh Billings
"Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well."
"As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand."
"There are lots of people who mistake their imagination for their memory."
"Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute."
Top 5 quotes from Envy, Love
"Where there is no exaggeration there is no love, and where there is no love there is no understanding."
"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings."
"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
"I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love."
"Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained."
