I fear a Man of frugal speech - I fear a Silent Man - Haranguer - I can overtake - Or Babbler - entertain - But He who weigheth - While the Rest - Expend their furthest pound - Of this Man - I am wary - I fear that He is Grand -
Emily Dickinson

More quotes by Emily Dickinson
Heart, we will forget him! You and I, to-night! You may forget the warmth he gave, I will forget the light. When you have done, pray tell me, That I my thoughts may dim Haste! lest while you’re lagging, I may remember him!
Emily Dickinson
The Truth never flaunted a sign.
Emily Dickinson
March is the month of expectation, The things we do not know, The Persons of Prognostication Are coming now. We try to sham becoming firmness, But pompous joy Betrays us, as his first betrothal Betrays a boy.
Emily Dickinson
A Letter is a Joy of Earth - It is denied the Gods
Emily Dickinson
Not 'Revelation'-'tis that waits/ But our unfurnished eyes
Emily Dickinson
To possess is past the instant we achieve the joy, immortality contented, were anomaly.
Emily Dickinson
Common sense is almost as omniscient as God.
Emily Dickinson
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame give me the man who living makes a name.
Emily Dickinson
Will you tell me my fault, frankly as to yourself, for I had rather wince, than die. Men do not call the surgeon to commend the bone, but to set it, Sir.
Emily Dickinson
I dwell in possiblities.
Emily Dickinson
You cannot fold a flood and put it in a drawer, because the winds would find it out and tell your cedar floor.
Emily Dickinson
This is my letter to the world That never wrote to me
Emily Dickinson
I can wade Grief -- Whole Pools of it -- I'm used to that -- But the least push of Joy Breaks up my feet -- And I tip -- drunken -- Let no Pebble -- smile -- 'Twas the New Liquor -- That was all!
Emily Dickinson
Luck is not chance, it's toil fortune's expensive smile is earned.
Emily Dickinson
I tasted - careless - then - I did not know the Wine Came once a World - Did you? Oh, had you told me so - This Thirst would blister - easier - now
Emily Dickinson
I felt a Cleaving in my Mind- As if my Brain had split- I tried to match it- Seam by Seam- But could not make it fit.
Emily Dickinson
Faith slips - and laughs, and rallies
Emily Dickinson
The WILL is always near, dear, though the feet vary.
Emily Dickinson
You are nipping in the bud fancies which I let blossom. The shore is safer, but I love to buffet the sea - I can count the bitter wrecks here in these pleasant waters, and hear the murmuring winds, but oh, I love the danger!
Emily Dickinson
Some Arrows slay but whom they strike - But this slew all but him - Who so appareled his Escape - Too trackless for a Tomb
