All haste implies weakness. [ George MacDonald ]
Religion implies revelation. [ Roswell D. Hitchcock ]
Silence gives (or implies) consent. [ Proverb ]
Genuine wit implies no small amount of wisdom and culture. [ Moses Harvey ]
Culture implies all which gives a mind possession of its powers. [ Emerson ]
Poetry implies the whole truth, philosophy expresses a particle of it. [ Thoreau ]

Friendship is cemented by interest, vanity, or the want of amusement; it seldom implies esteem, or even mutual regard. [ Hazlitt ]

To be forward to praise others implies either great eminence, that can afford to part with applause; or great quickness of discernment, with confidence in our own judgments; or great sincerity and love of truth, getting the better of our self-love. [ Hazlitt ]
Humor implies a sure conception of the beautiful, the majestic, and the true, by whose light it surveys and shapes their opposites. It is an humane influence, softening with mirth the ragged inequalities of existence, prompting tolerant views of life, bridging over the spaces which separate the lofty from the lowly, the great from the humble. [ E. P. Whipple ]
A beautiful eye makes silence eloquent, a kind eye makes contradiction an assent, an enraged eye makes beauty deformed.

[ Joseph Addison ]
