Quote It! Saturday

This blog is, of course, devoted to quotes. At least it's supposed to be...I'm still trying to get back in the swing of keeping up with two blogs. But Freda's Voice has a wonderful meme called Quote It! that I cannot resist participating in. You can post as many quotes as you like. To join in, hop on over to Freda's place!


Here are this week's offerings:

This first I couldn't resist, even though it doesn't quite fit in with the rest of my choices...

A dog wags its tail with its heart.
~Martin Buxbaum



And dreams in their development have breath; and tears and tortures, and the touch of joy; They have a weight upon our waking thoughts. They take a weight off our waking toils. They do divide our being.
~Lord Byron

Heart on her lips, and soul within her eyes,
Soft as her clime, and sunny as her skies.
~Lord Byron

All heaven and earth are still--though not in sleep,
But breathless as we grow when feeling most;
And silent as we stand in thoughts too deep
All heaven and earth are still;
* * *
Then stirs the feeling infinite, so felt
In solitude, where we are least alone.
~Lord Byron

Quote It! Saturday

This blog is, of course, devoted to quotes. At least it's supposed to be...I couldn't believe that I haven't posted since May! But Freda's Voice has a wonderful meme called Quote It! that I cannot resist participating in once again. You can post as many quotes as you like. To join in, hop on over to Freda's place!

Here are my weekly offerings (all by Samuel Butler):

Conscience is thoroughly well-bred and soon leaves off talking to those who do not wish to hear it.

Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule. Nevertheless, one had better know the rules, for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases, though not often.

Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.
