A Quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Joy, temperance, and repose, slam the door on the doctor's nose. — © Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Joy, temperance, and repose, slam the door on the doctor's nose.
Master and Doctor are my titles; for ten years now, without repose, I held my erudite recitals and led my pupils by the nose.
I hail with joy- for I am a temperance man and a friend of temperance-I hail with joy the efforts that are being made to raise wine in the country. I believe that when you have everywhere cheap, pure, unadulterated wine, you will no longer have need for either prohibitory or license laws.
Temperate temperance is best; intemperate temperance injures the cause of temperance.
Only the nose knows Where the nose goes When the door close.
The repose necessary to all beauty is repose, not of inanition, nor of luxury, nor of irresolution, but the repose of magnificent energy and being; in action, the calmness of trust and determination; in rest, the consciousness of duty accomplished and of victory won; and this repose and this felicity can take place as well in the midst of trial and tempest, as beside the waters of comfort.
You have to sniff out joy. Keep your nose to the joy trail.
We have observed for thirty centuries that a large nose is a sign on the door of our face that says 'Herein dwells a man who is intelligent, prudent, courteous, affable, noble-minded and generous'. A small nose is a cork on the bottle of the opposite vices.
No one wants a default, or to slam the door in the IMF's face.
When crazy comes knocking at the door, you gotta slam it shut.
He didn't slam the door, didn't rage, didn't weep, he simply left.
When you walk through that door of opportunity you don't slam it shut behind you.
Don't ever slam a door, you might want to go back.
To keep up appearances, I stomp my room and slam the door.
I was three. My father in jest said that he'd tell the doctor to give me a shot if I didn't behave. Good heavens, I have a mental picture of the living room and the doctor approaching the door. I was terrified.
The sweetest pleasures soonest cloy, And its best flavour temperance gives to joy.
The Doctor: It's my nose; it has special powers. Nancy: Yeah? That why it's so...? The Doctor: What? Nancy: Nothing. The Doctor: What? Nancy: Nothing. Do your ears have special powers too?
