Dawn QUOTES

1 " Love's empire is this globe and all mankind; the most refined and the most degraded, the cleverest and the most stupid, are all liable to become his faithful subjects. He can alike command the devotion of an archbishop and a South-Sea Islander, of the most immaculate maiden lady (whatever her age) and of the savage Zulu girl. From the pole to the equator, and from the equator to the further pole, there is no monarch like Love. "

― H. Rider Haggard , Dawn

2 " When is truth pleasing? It is only when we clothe it's nakedness with rags of imagination, or sweeten it with fiction, that it can please. "

― H. Rider Haggard , Dawn

3 " Love to a woman is what the sun is to the world, it is her life, her animating principle, without which she must droop, and, if the plant be very tender, die. Except under its influence, a woman can never attain her full growth, never touch the height of her possibilities, or bloom into the plenitude of her moral beauty. A loveless marriage dwarfs our natures, a marriage where love is develops them to their utmost. "

― H. Rider Haggard , Dawn

4 " When we love most, and love happily, then we are at our topmost bent, and soar further above the earth than anything else can carry us. "

― H. Rider Haggard , Dawn

5 " I do not wish to preach, but perhaps, after all, this terrible misfortune may lead you to something better. Thank God, there is forgiveness for us all. "

― H. Rider Haggard , Dawn

6 " money is a living moving force; leave it still, and it accumulates; expend it, and it gratifies every wish; save it, and that is best of all, and you hold in your hand a lever that will lift the world. I tell you that there is no height to which it cannot bring you, no gulf it will not bridge you. "

― H. Rider Haggard , Dawn

7 " Take the goods the gods provide you. "

― H. Rider Haggard , Dawn

8 " intense feeling is the mother of eloquence. "
