| Thomas Bailey Aldrich Quotes | No. | Quotation | Subject |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sorrow itself is not so hard to bear as the thought of sorrow coming. Airy ghosts that work no harm do terrify us more than men in steel with bloody purposes. | Anticipation |
| 2 | Gracious to all, to none subservient, Without offense he spoke the word he meant. | Candor |
| 3 | We weep when we are born, Not when we die! | Death |
| 4 | When to soft Sleep we give ourselves away, And in a dream as in a fairy bark Drift on and on through the enchanted dark To purple daybreak - little thought we pay To that sweet bitter world we know by day. | Dreams |
| 5 | No bird has ever uttered note- that was not in some first bird's throat; since Eden's freshness and man's fall - no rose has been original. | Originality |
| 6 | Great orators who are not also great writers become very indistinct shadows to the generations following them. The spell vanishes with the voice. | Public Speaking |
