“I stay a little longer, as one stays, to cover up the embers that still burn.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“You've got to be (an) optimist to be a Democrat, and you've got to be a humorist to stay one”
Will Rogers
“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“In the confusion we stay with each other, happy to be together, speaking without uttering a single word”
Walt Whitman
“Why get married and make one man miserable when I can stay single and make thousands miserable?”
Carrie P. Snow
““But that’s not the way of it with the tales that really mattered, or the ones that stay in the mind. Folk seem to have just landed in them, usually - their paths were laid that way, as you put it. But I expect they had lots of chances, like us, of turning back, only they didn’t. And if they had, we shouldn’t know, because they’d have been forgotten. We hear about those as just went on - and not all to a good end, mind you; at least not to what folk inside a story and not outside it call a good end””
J.R.R. Tolkien
