A cloud of millinery
shoots me off a mile from a woman
A kind of anchorage
in case of indiscretion
A night that had shivered
repose
A tear would have overcome
him—She had not wept
A wound of the same
kind that we are inflicting
A string of pearls:
a woman who goes beyond that’s in danger
A dash of conventionalism
makes the whole civilized world kin
A bone in a boy’s
mind for him to gnaw and worry
Admires a girl when
there’s no married woman or widow in sight
Affectedly gentle and
unusually roundabout opening
After forty, men have
married their habits
Aimlessness of a woman’s
curiosity
Alike believe that Providence
is for them
All concessions to the
people have been won from fear
Am I thy master, or
thou mine?
An instinct labouring
to supply the deficiencies of stupidity
An old spoiler of women
is worse than one spoiled by them!
And life said, Do it,
and death said, To what end?
And never did a stroke
of work in my life
And now came war, the
purifier and the pestilence
And one gets the worst
of it (in any bargain)
Anticipate opposition
by initiating measures
Appealed to reason in
them; he would not hear of convictions
Appetite to flourish
at the cost of the weaker
Are we practical?’
penetrates the bosom of an English audience
Art of speaking on politics
tersely
As fair play as a woman’s
lord could give her
As to wit, the sneer
is the cloak of clumsiness
As for titles, the way
to defend them is to be worthy of them
Automatic creature is
subject to the laws of its construction
Beauchamp’s career
Beautiful servicelessness
Better for men of extremely
opposite opinions not to meet
Boys are unjust
Braggadocioing in deeds
is only next bad to mouthing it
Calm fanaticism of the
passion of love
Canvassing means intimidation
or corruption
Carry a scene through
in virtue’s name and vice’s mask
Comfortable have to
pay in occasional panics for the serenity
Compassionate sentiments
veered round to irate amazement
Consult the family means—waste
your time
Contemptuous exclusiveness
could not go farther
Convict it by instinct
without the ceremony of a jury
Convictions are generally
first impressions
Cordiality of an extreme
relief in leaving
Country can go on very
well without so much speech-making
Cowardice is even worse
for nations than for individual men
Crazy zigzag of policy
in almost every stroke (of history)
Dark-eyed Renee was
not beauty but attraction
Death within which welcomed
a death without
Decline to practise
hypocrisy
Despises the pomades
and curling-irons of modern romance
Dialectical stiffness
