Christian Nestell Bovee was an epigrammatic New York writer... (wikipedia)
Tranquil pleasures last the longest; we are not fitted to bear the burden of great joys.
It is the passion that is in a kiss that gives to it its sweetness; it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it.
In ambition, as in love, the successful can afford to be indulgent toward their rivals. The prize our own, it is graceful to recognize the merit that vainly aspired to it.
There is great beauty in going through life without anxiety or fear. Half our fears are baseless, and the other half discreditable.
False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade.
