Douglas Jerrold

Good is a good doctor, but Bad is sometimes a better.

Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force; that thoughts rule the world.

He is great who is what he is from Nature, and who never reminds us of others.

He is one of those wise philanthropists who in a time of famine would vote for nothing but a supply of toothpicks.

A blessed companion is a book,-a book that fitly chosen is a life-long friend.

A creative economy is the fuel of magnificence.

A man is a bundle of relations, a knot of roots, whose flower and fruitage is the world.

A ruddy drop of manly blood The surging sea outweighs; The world uncertain comes and goes, The lover rooted stays.

And every man, in love or pride, Of his fate is never wide.

And striving to be man, the worm Mounts through all the spires of form.
