Quotations for window

To throw the house out of the window. [ Proverb ]

Do not throw stones at your own window. [ Proverb ]

The crackling embers on the hearth are dead;
The indoor note of industry is still;
The latch is fast; upon the window-sill
The small birds wait not for their daily bread;
The voiceless flowers - how quietly they shed
Their nightly odours; - and the household rill
Murmurs continuous dulcet sounds that fill
The vacant expectation, and the dread
Of listening night. [ Hartley Coleridge ]

It is better to fall from the window than the roof. [ Italian Proverb ]

Love comes in at the window and flies out at the door. [ Proverb ]

Air coming in at a window, is as bad as a cross-bow-shot. [ Proverb ]

My money comes in at the door and flies out at the window. [ Proverb ]

To a fair day open the window, but make you ready as to a foul. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

Doubt comes in at the window when inquiry is denied at the door. [ Prof. Jowett ]

When poverty comes in at the door, love creeps out at the window. [ Proverb ]

Style is only the frame to hold your thoughts. It is like the sash of a window; if heavy, it will obscure the light. [ Emerson ]

When you see a man with a great deal of religion displayed in his shop-window, you may depend upon it he keeps a very small stock of it within. [ Spurgeon ]

There is no man whom Fortune does not visit once in his life; but when she does not find him ready to receive her, she walks in at the door and flies out at the window. [ Cardinal Imperiali ]

Eternity is the divine treasure-house and hope is the window, by means of which mortals are permitted to see, as through a glass darkly, the things which God is preparing. [ Mountford ]

Whatever is pure is also simple. It does not keep the eye on itself. The observer forgets the window in the landscape it displays. A fine style gives the view of fancy - its figures, its trees, or its palaces, - without a spot. [ Willmott ]

The eye speaks with an eloquence and truthfulness surpassing speech. It is the window out of which the winged thoughts often fly unwittingly. It is the tiny magic mirror on whose crystal surface the moods of feeling fitfully play, like the sunlight and shadow on a still stream. [ Tuckerman ]

The eye is the window of the soul, the mouth the door. The intellect, the will, are seen in the eye; the emotions, sensibilities, and affections, in the mouth. The animals look for man's intentions right into his eyes. Even a rat, when you hunt him and bring him to bay, looks you in the eye. [ Hiram Powers ]
