It is an impudent kind of sorcery to attempt to blind us with the smoke without convincing us that the fire has existed. [ Junius ]

Assertion, unsupported by fact, is nugatory; surmise and general abuse, in however elegant language, ought not to pass for proofs. [ Junius ]

Flowers and fruits are always fit presents - flowers, because they are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out values all the utilities of the world. [ Emerson ]

Swearing is invoking the witness of a spirit to an assertion you wish to make, but cursing is invoking the assistance of a spirit in a mischief you wish to inflict. [ John Ruskin ]

Flowers and fruits are always fit presents; flowers, because they are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out-values all the utilities of the world. These gay natures contrast with the sombre countenance of ordinary nature; they are like music heard out of a workhouse. [ Berz ]
