Quotes and Sayings

Being obsessed with quotations, it makes sense that the largest page in my collection is quotes about quotes. I've spent hundreds of hours tracing down original works for verification as well as culling several dozen new entries from long-lost treasures, not posted on any other public website. With the help of Google Books' digitization of so many old precious texts and my own collection of dusty books, I've added the results of these efforts to my existing quarter-century's compilation, and there are now over 400 entries. "All quotation dictionaries stand on the shoulders of their predecessors," according to Fred Shapiro. He is indeed correct, and I am grateful to those who came before me and left clues for where to focus my search. As far as I am aware, this is the largest online or print collection of quotations about quotations, and if not, then it is certainly the most easily accessible large collection. Please enjoy, and if you actually reach the bottom of the page then you might just be a true quote addict like I am!

[smillesquotes]

A man's nature runs either to herbs, or to weeds; therefore let him seasonably water the one, and destroy the other.  ~Francis Bacon

[smillesquotes]

He who hunts for flowers will finds flowers; and he who loves weeds will find weeds.  ~Henry Ward Beecher

[smillesquotes]

Weed 'em and reap.  ~Author Unknown

[smillesquotes]

Don't water your weeds.  ~Proverb

[smillesquotes]

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.  If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.  ~Author Unknown

[smillesquotes]

A man of words and not of deeds Is like a garden full of weeds And when the weeds begin to grow It's like a garden full of snow... ~John Fletcher, part of a nursery rhyme  (Thanks, Paul!)

[smillesquotes]

Coal lay in ledges under the ground since the Flood, until a laborer with pick and windlass brings it to the surface. We may will call it black diamonds. Every basket is power and civilization. For coal is a portable climate. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

[smillesquotes]

We often hear of bad weather, but in reality, no weather is bad. It is all delightful, though in different ways. Some weather may be bad for farmers or crops, but for man all kinds are good. Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating. As Ruskin says, "There is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather." ~John Lubbock, "Recreation," The Use of Life, 1894

[smillesquotes]

Greetings, all! Welcome to my page of weather quotations. Reading books with great weather descriptions really moves me, and I've found several that especially thrill me in books from the 1800s. As I find time I continue to hit up Google Books and the library too, ransacking vintage gems for wind, rain, snow, and storm-related passages. There is so much beauty out there in previous generations of literature, which fortunately thanks to the preservation of old books is still ours today. I will happily keep sharing the words as I find them, and in the meantime please enjoy the labor of love that is already here. —tεᖇᖇ¡·g
