Quotations for fancies

Hope is the most treacherous of all human fancies. [ James Fenimore Cooper ]

That exuberant age when all fresh fancies are fevers. [ Miss Braddon ]

Their is no disputing of tastes, appetites and fancies. [ Proverb ]

The nature of things will not be altered by our fancies of them. [ Proverb ]

The natural religion of the pagan philosophers was mixed with fancies and dreams. [ Saurin ]

As dreams are the fancies of those that sleep, so fancies are but the dreams of those awake. [ Sir T. P. Blount ]

Nature, like a kind and smiling mother, lends herself to our dreams and cherishes our fancies. [ Victor Hugo ]

In the loss of an object we do not proportion our grief to its real value, but to the value our fancies set upon it. [ Addison ]

Repentance is no other than a recanting of the will, and opposition to our fancies, which lead us which way they please. [ Montaigne ]

Secrecy has many advantages, for when you tell a man at once and straightforward the purpose of any object, he fancies there's nothing in it. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]

A profusion of fancies and quotations is out of place in a love-letter. True feeling is always direct, and never deviates into by-ways to cull flowers of rhetoric. [ Bovee ]

We are somewhat more than ourselves in our sleep; and the slumber of the body seems to be but the waking of the soul. It is the ligation of sense, but the liberty of reason; and our waking conceptions do not match the fancies of our sleeps. [ Sir Thomas Browne ]

A lofty mind always thinks nobly, it easily creates vivid, agreeable, and natural fancies, places them in their best light, clothes them with all appropriate adornments, studies others' tastes, and clears away from its own thoughts all that is useless and disagreeable. [ La Rochefoucauld ]

Sombre thoughts and fancies often require a little real soil or substance to flourish in; they are the dark pinetrees which take root in, and frown over the rifts of the scathed and petrified heart, and are chiefly nourished by the rain of unavailing tears, and the vapors of fancy. [ J. F. Boyes ]
