Say less than the other fellow and listen more than you talk; for when a man's listening he isn't telling on himself and he's flattering the fellow who is.

George Horace Lorimer

There is nothing sweeter in this sad world than the sound of someone you love calling your name.

Kate DiCamillo

There is musick, even in the beauty and the silent note which Cupid strikes, far sweeter than the sound of an instrument.

Thomas Browne

Grace does not demonize our desires nor destroy them nor lead us to deny them. Grace is the work of the Holy Spirit in transforming our desires so that knowing Jesus becomes sweeter than illicit sex, sweeter than money and what it can buy, sweeter than every fruitless joy. Grace is God satisfying our souls with His Son so that we're ruined for anything else!

Sam Storms

In walking through the world there is a choice for a man to make. He can choose the fair and open path, the path which sound ethics, sound democracy, and the common law prescribe, or choose the secret way by which he can get the better of his fellow man.

Ida Tarbell

There is no sweeter pleasure than to surprise a man by giving him more than he hopes for.

Charles Baudelaire

Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?

Marcus Tullius Cicero

I, for one, know of no sweeter sight for a man's eyes than his own country.

Homer

The sweeter sound of woman's praise.

Thomas B. Macaulay

A man finds no sweeter voice in all the world than that which chants his praise.

Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle

Every man of sound brain whom you meet knows something worth knowing better than yourself. A man, on the whole, is a better preceptor than a book. But what scholar does not allow that the dullest book can suggest to him a new and a sound idea?

Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

Things temporal are sweeter in the expectation, things eternal are sweeter in the fruition; the first shames thy hope, the second crowns it; it is a vain journey, whose end affords less pleasure than the way.

Francis Quarles

Sweet is every sound, Sweeter thy voice, but every sound is sweet; Myriads of rivulets hurrying thro' the lawn, The moans of doves in immemorial elms, And murmuring of innumerable bees.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Anger, which, far sweeter than trickling drops of honey, rises in the bosom of a man like smoke.

Homer

We might think of dollars as being 'certificates of performance.' The better I serve my fellow man, and the higher the value he places on that service, the more certificates of performance he gives me. The more certificates I earn, the greater my claim on the goods my fellow man produces. That's the morality of the market. In order for one to have a claim on what his fellow man produces, he must first serve him.

Walter E. Williams

The commonest and cheapest sounds, as the barking of a dog, produce the same effect on fresh and healthy ears that the rarest music does. It depends on your appetite for sound. Just as a crust is sweeter to a healthy appetite than confectionery to a pampered or diseased one.

Henry David Thoreau
