More quotes by Bret Harte
Virtue always meets reward,
But quicker when it wears a sword
But, when the goddess' work is done,
The woman's still remains.
Don't be too quick
To break bad habits: better stick,
Like the Mission folk, to your arsenic.
You may also like
Life could not be lived wet, whether it be in rain or tears.
In much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Every joy that some experience is paid for by the sorrow of others.
