Washington Irving

A tart temper never mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use.

Great minds have purposes, others have wishes. Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above them.

A tart temper never mellows with age; and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use.

Great minds have purposes, others have wishes.

A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.
Washington Irving - American writer and poet
Happiness is reflective, like the light of heaven.

There is a healthful hardiness about real dignity that never dreads contact and communion with others, however humble.

- Washington Irving
