• The mental powers acquire their full robustness when the cheek loses its ruddy hue, and the limbs their elastic step; and pale thought sits on manly brows, and the watchman, as he walks his rounds, sees the student's lamp burning far into the silent night.

• Cupido y mi Campaspe jugaron
  A las cartas por besos - Cupido pagó:
  Apuesta su carcaj, arco y flechas,
  Las palomas de su madre, y el equipo de gorriones;
  También los pierde; luego arroja
  El coral de sus labios, la rosa
  Que crece en su mejilla (pero nadie sabe cómo);
  Con estos, el cristal de su frente,
  Y luego el hoyuelo de su barbilla:
  Todo esto ganó mi Campaspe.
  Al fin le puso los dos ojos -
  Ella ganó, y Cupido ciego se levantó.
  ¡Oh amor! ¿Ha hecho esto por ti?
  ¿Qué será de mí?

• Las montañas son testimonios de angustia de la naturaleza. Son el grito agudo de una creación que gime y se afana. La severa agonía de la naturaleza se escribe en estas frentes surcadas de piedra sombría. Estos peñascos rotos y astillados son las lúgubres imágenes de la tristeza paciente, que existen sin verdor y severos porque deben existir.

• Porque cuanto mayores son las obras de un hombre para el futuro, menos puede comprenderlas el presente; cuanto más dura es su lucha, más raro es su éxito. Sin embargo, si una vez en siglos el éxito llega a un hombre, tal vez en sus últimos días un débil rayo de su gloria venidera pueda brillar sobre él. Sin duda, estos grandes hombres son sólo los corredores de maratón de la historia; la corona de laurel del presente sólo toca la frente del héroe moribundo.

• The god we now behold with opened eyes,
  A herd of spotted panthers round him lies
  In glaring forms; the grapy clusters spread
  On his fair brows, and dangle on his head.

• I saw thee in a vision of the night Transfigured; for it seemed that on thy brows The heavens did rest with all their stars, like boughs Laden with blossoms; round thy feet the bright Green waves, like grass, ran rippling, strewn with white Star-fragments of rent petals: wasted vows, And ruined prayers I thought them, such as house In hearts that love and are not loved aright.

  I had a beautiful friend

• The human face is a weak guarantee; yet it deserves some consideration. And if I had to whip the wicked, I would do so more severely to those who belied and betrayed the promises that nature had implanted on their brows; I would punish malice more harshly when it was hidden under a kindly appearance.

• You came to tell us that the great cities are in favour of the gold standard; we reply that the great cities rest upon our broad and fertile plains. Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic. But destroy out farms and the grass will grow in the city...You shall not press down upon the brow of labour this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.

• Some men over-tweeze their eyebrows, and it's just too perfect. Men are meant to have kind of a bushy brow. Too much aftershave is also off-putting; it's one of my pet hates.

• Lechero,
  que tiene una mejilla para los golpes, una cabeza para los agravios;
  Que no tiene en su frente un ojo que discierna
  Tu honor de tu sufrimiento; [que no sabes
  Los necios compadecen a los villanos que son castigados
  antes de haber hecho su mal. ¿Dónde está tu tambor?
  Francia despliega sus estandartes en nuestra tierra silenciosa,
  Con el yelmo emplumado tu estado comienza a amenazar,
  Mientras tú, tonto moral, te sientas y lloras...
  '¡Ay, ¿por qué lo hace?']

  William Shakespeare

• Yes!--still I love thee: Time, who sets
  His signet on my brow,
  And dims my sunken eye, forgets,
  The heart he could not bow;--
  Where love, that cannot perish, grows
  For one, Alas! that little knows
  How love may sometimes last;
  Like sunshine wasting in the skies
  When clouds are overcast.

  Rufus Dawes

• In one was, I suppose, I have been "in denial" for some time, knowingly burning the candle at both ends and finding that it often gives a lovely light. But for precisely this reason, I can't see myself smiting my brow with shock or hear myself whining about how it's all so unfair: I have been taunting the Reaper into taking a free scythe in my direction and have now succumbed to something so predictable and banal that it bores even me.

• More than my questions about the efficacy of social actions were my questions about my own motives. Do i want social justice for the oppressed or do i jusy want to be known as a socially active person? I spend 95 percent of my time thinking about myself anyway. I dont have to watch the evening news to see the world is bad, i only have to look at myself. I am not brow beating here, i am only saying that true charge , true living giving, God honoring change would have to start with the individual. I was the very problem i had been protesting. I wanted to make a sign that read “I am the problem
