Martin Farquhar Tupper

He who does not tire, tires adversity.

God, from a beautiful necessity, is Love.

Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.

A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angels and men.

Pain adds rest unto pleasure, and teaches the luxury of health.

Memory is not wisdom; idiots can by rote repeat volumes. Yet what is wisdom without memory?

Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.
