Treason seldom dwells with courage. [ Sir Walter Scott ]
No god is absent where prudence dwells. [ Juvenal ]
True beauty dwells in deep retreats,
Whose veil is unremoved.
Till heart with heart in concord beats,
And the lover is beloved. [ Wordsworth ]
Farewell, happy fields,
Where joy forever dwells; hail, horrors! [ Milton ]
In the sweetest bud
The eating canker dwells; so eating love
Inhabits in the finest wits of all. [ William Shakespeare, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act I. Sc.1 ]
Where liberty dwells, there is my country. [ Benjamin Franklin ]
Knowledge and wisdom, far from being one,
Have ofttimes no connection. Knowledge dwells
In heads replete with thoughts of other men;
Wisdom, in minds attentive to their own. [ William Cowper ]
Love lieth deep; love dwells not in lip-depths. [ Tennyson ]
Love lieth deep; Love dwells not in lip-depths;
Love laps his wings on either side the heart
Absorbing all the incense of sweet thoughts,
So that they pass not to the shrine of sound. [ Alfred Tennyson ]
Thus was beauty sent from heaven,
The lovely ministress of truth and good,
In this dark world; for truth and good are one,
And beauty dwells in them and they in her
With like participation. [ Akenside ]
True comeliness, which nothing can impair,
Dwells in the mind; all else is vanity and glare. [ Thomson ]
Virtue dwells not in the tongue, but in the heart. [ Proverb ]
Truth dwells not in the clouds; the bow that's there
Doth often aim at, never hit the sphere. [ George Herbert ]
He dwells far from neighbours who is fain to praise himself. [ Proverb ]
Let nothing foul to either eye or ear reach those doors within which dwells a boy. [ Juvenal ]
Where true fortitude dwells, loyalty, bounty, friendship and fidelity may be found. [ Gay ]
Rich honesty dwells like a miser, in a poor house, as your pearl in your foul oyster. [ William Shakespeare ]
Envy is like a fly that passes all a body's sounder parts, and dwells upon the sores. [ Chapman ]
Eloquence dwells quite as much in the hearts of the hearers as on the lips of the orator. [ Lamartine ]
O, brother man! fold to thy heart thy brother, where pity dwells, the peace of God is there. [ Whittier ]
No nobler feeling than this of admiration for one higher than himself dwells in the breast of man. [ Carlyle ]
Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into, the mind. [ Coleridge ]
If God dwells inside us, like some people say, I sure hope He like enchiladas, because that's what He's getting! [ Jack Handey, Deep Thoughts ]
Great joy, especially after a sudden change and revolution of circumstances, is apt to be silent, and dwells rather in the heart than on the tongue. [ Fielding ]
There is a gravity which is not austere nor captious, which belongs not to melancholy nor dwells in contraction of heart; but arises from tenderness and hangs upon reflection. [ Landor ]
Good-nature is worth more than knowledge, more than money, more than honor, to the persons who possess it, and certainly to everybody who dwells with them, in so far as mere happiness is concerned. [ Henry Ward Beecher ]
Doubt is not itself a crime. All manner of doubt, inquiry about all manner of objects, dwells in every reasonable mind. It is the mystic working of the mind on the object it is getting to know about. [ Carlyle ]
We read of a fountain in Arabia upon whose basin is inscribed, Drink, and away;
but how delicious is that hasty draught, and how long and brightly the thought of its transient refreshment dwells in the memory. [ Tuckerman ]
Great art dwells in all that is beautiful; but false art omits or changes all that is ugly. Great art accepts Nature as she is, but directs the eyes and thoughts to what is most perfect in her; false art saves itself the trouble of direction by removing or altering whatever is objectionable. [ John Ruskin ]
Ridicule intrinsically is a small faculty; we may say, the smallest of all faculties that other men are at the pains to repay with any esteem. It is directly opposed to thought, to knowledge, properly so called; its nourishment and essence is denial, which hovers on the surface, while knowledge dwells far below. [ Carlyle ]
Poetical taste is the only magician whose wand is not broken. No hand, except its own, can dissolve the fabric of beauty in which it dwells. Genii, unknown to Arabian fable, wait at the portal. Whatever is most precious from the loom or the mine of fancy is poured at its feet. Love, purified by contemplation, visits and cheers it; unseen musicians are heard in the dark; it is Psyche in the palace of Cupid. [ Willmott ]
