From November through December, 'tis the season for 'Home Alone!'

Prudent people are very happy; 'tis an exceeding fine thing, that's certain, but I was born without it, and shall retain to my day of Death the Humour of saying what I think.

The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter - 'tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning.

'Tis not enough to help the feeble up, but to support them after.

'Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print. A book's a book, although there's nothing in 't.

'Tis the voice of the sluggard; I heard him complain, you have waked me too soon, I must slumber again.

We talk of communing with Nature, but 'tis with ourselves we commune... Nature furnishes the conditions - the solitude - and the soul furnishes the entertainment.

Believe me, 'tis a godlike thing to lend; to owe is a heroic virtue.

'Tis very certain the desire of life prolongs it.

For tis not in mere death that men die most.

And, after all, what is a lie? 'Tis but the truth in a masquerade.

Though an angel should write, still 'tis devils must print.

Who made the world I cannot tell; 'Tis made, and here am I in hell. My hand, though now my knuckles bleed, I never soiled with such a deed.

Dreaming of a tomorrow, which tomorrow, will be as distant then as 'tis today.

'Tis no sin to cheat the devil.

'Tis skill, not strength, that governs a ship.

Have friends. 'Tis a second existence.

To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age. 'Tis much better to do a little with certainty & leave the rest for others that come after you.

Land is the only thing in the world that amounts to anything, for 'Tis the only thing in this world that lasts, 'Tis the only thing worth working for, worth fighting for - worth dying for.

'Tis love that makes the world go round, my baby.
