War has its sweets, Hymen its alarms. [ La Fontaine ]
Unblown flowers, new-appearing sweets. [ William Shakespeare ]
All sorts of sweets are not wholesome. [ Proverb ]
The sweets of love are washed with tears. [ George Herbert ]
Sweet letters of the angel tongue,
I've loved ye long and well.
And never have failed in your fragrance sweet
To find some secret spell -
A charm that has bound me with witching power,
For mine is the old belief,
That midst your sweets and midst your bloom,
There's a soul in every leaf! [ M. M. Ballou ]
Sweets with sweets war not; joy delights in joy. [ William Shakespeare ]
A time there is when like a thricetold tale long-rifled life of sweets can yield no more. [ Young ]
We gild our medicines with sweets; why not clothe truth and morals in pleasant garments as well? [ Chamfort ]
The birds, great Nature's happy commoners, that haunt in woods, in meads, and flowery gardens, rifle the sweets and taste the choicest fruits. [ Rowe ]
I have somewhere seen it observed that we should make the same use of a book that the bee does of a flower: she steals sweets from it, but does not injure it. [ Colton ]
We should make the same use of a book that the bee does of a flower; she steals sweets from it, but does not injure it; and those sweets she herself improves and concocts into honey. [ C. C. Cotton ]
Novels are sweets. All people with healthy literary appetites love them; almost all women; a vast number of clever, hard-headed men. Judges, bishops, chancellors, mathematicians, are notorious novel readers, as well as young boys and girls, and their kind, tender mothers. [ Thackeray ]
