Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs, Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes, Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers’ tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, A choking gall and a preserving sweet.

– William Shakespeare, Romeo, in Romeo and Juliet, act 1, sc. 1.

Many a crown of wisdom is but the golden chamberpot of success, worn with pompous dignity.

– Joey Adams

When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and true maxim that 'a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.' So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the great highroad to his reason, and which, once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing him of the justice of your cause, if indeed that cause is really a good one.

– Abraham Lincoln

A slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear a crown.

– Albert Camus

America, meaning mostly the United States, is not an easy concept to comprehend. It may be appropriate that it was discovered by a Genoese sailor, in the service of the Spanish crown, looking for some place else and that, for the next half-century, it was treated as a geological impediment to be gotten through or around in order to reach some far more profitable other side.

– Vincent Canby, The New York Times, November 11, 1984

Arrogance is a kingdom without a crown.

– American Proverb

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life.

– Bible

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life.

– Bible, New Testament, James, Chapter 1, Verse 12

Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time, Each form is exquisite, each block sublime. Or good, or bad,-disfigur'd, or deprav'd,- All art, is at its resurrection sav'd All crown'd with glory in the critic's heav'n, Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.

– Sir Martin Archer Shee

Envy is a vice that would pose a man to tell what it should be liked for. Other vices we assume for that we falsely suppose they bring us either pleasure, profit, or honour. But in envy who is it can find any of these? Instead of pleasure, we vex and gall ourselves. Like cankered brass, it only eats itself, nay, discolours and renders it noisome. When some one told Agis that those of his neighbour?s family did envy him, ?Why, then,? says he, ?they have a double vexation?one, with their own evil, the other, at my prosperity.?

– Feltham

He that is ambitious of fame destroys it. He that increaseth not his knowledge diminishes it. He that uses the crown of learning as an instrument of gain will pass away.

– The Talmud

Like jewels in a crown, the precious stones glittered in the queen's round metal hat.

– Jack Handey Deep Thoughts

No pain, no palm no thorns, no throne no gall, no glory, no glory no cross, no crown.

– William Penn

O Winter ruler of the inverted year, . . . I crown thee king of intimate delights, Fireside enjoyments, home-born happiness, And all the comforts that the lowly roof Of undisturb'd Retirement, and the hours Of long uninterrupted evening, know.

– William Cowper

One of the most difficult things to contend with in a hospital is that assumption on the part of the staff that because you have lost your gall bladder you have also lost your mind.

– Jean Kerr

Our founders did not oust George III in order for us to crown Richard I.

– Ralph Nader

Our incomes are like our shoes; if too small, they gall and pinch us; but if too large, they cause us to stumble and to trip.

– John Locke

Poverty, we may say, surrounds a man with ready-made barriers, which if they do mournfully gall and hamper, do at least prescribe for him, and force on him, a sort of course and goal; a safe and beaten, though a circuitous, course. A great part of his guidance is secure against fatal error, is withdrawn from his control. The rich, again, has his whole life to guide, without goal or barrier, save of his own choosing, and, tempted, is too likely to guide it ill.

– Carlyle

The world pins no medals on you because of what you know, but it may crown you with glory and riches for what you do.

– Unknown

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

– William Shakespeare

When kings the sword of justice first lay down;
They art no kings, though they posess the crown;
Titles are shadows, crowns are empty things,
The good of subjects is the end of kings.

– Daniel Defoe
