More quotes by Ambrose Bierce
When lost in a forest go always down hill. When lost in a philosophy or doctrine go upward.
The gambling known as business looks with austere disfavor upon the business known as gambling.
O proud philanthropist, your hope is vain
To get by giving what you lost by gain.

And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
