After I went to bed I had a curious fancy as to dreams. In sleep the doors of the mind are shut, and thoughts come jumping in at the windows. They tumble headlong, and therefore are so disorderly and strange. Sometimes they are stout and light on their feet, and then they are rational dreams.
James Boswell
Image
A stout heart, a clear conscience, and never despair.
John Quincy Adams
Image
James Finch has always had pretty stout cars for the restrictor-plate races and I know we'll be very competitive at Daytona.
Kurt Busch
Image
In times gone by there lived a Count of Ponthieu, who loved chivalry and the pleasures of the world beyond measure, and moreover was a stout knight and a gallant gentleman
Marie de France
Image
Confidence is conqueror of men victorious both over them and in them The iron will of one stout heart shall make a thousand quail A feeble dwarf, dauntlessly resolved, will turn the tide of battle, And rally to a nobler strife the giants that had fled.
Martin Farquhar Tupper
Image
I shuddered from stem to stern, as stout barks do when buffeted by the waves.
P. G. Wodehouse
Image
So laugh, lads, and quaff, lads, twill make you stout and hale through all my days, I'll sing the praise of brown October ale.
Reginald De Koven
Image
A digging fork is a stout, short-handled tool with four flat tines about a foot long.... for weeding I use it delicately to nudge the soil loose from roots without breaking them.
Sara Bonnett Stein
Image
This is a wonderful world for women. The richness, the hope, the promise of life today, particularly for women, are exciting beyond belief. Nonetheless, we need stout hearts and strong characters we need knowledge and training we need organized effort to meet the future.
Belle S. Spafford
Image
The baby romped on my lap like a short stout salmon.
Sylvia Townsend Warner
Image
Sturdy beggars can bear stout denials.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
They make their fortune who are stout and wise, Wit rules the heavens, discretion guides the skies. [Lat., Che sovente addivien che'l saggio e'l forte. Fabro a se stesso e di beata sorte.]
Torquato Tasso
Image
I think a stalwart peasant in sheep-skin coat, born on the soil, whose forefathers have been farmers for ten generations, with a stout wife and a half dozen children, is good quality
Clifford Sifton
Image
Sure as the most certain sure, plumb in the uprights, well entretied, braced in the beams, Stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical, I and this mystery here we stand.
Walt Whitman
Image
The timid and fearful first failures dismay, but the stout heart stays trying by night and by day. He values his failures as lessons that teach The one way to get to the goal he would reach.
Edgar Guest
Image
I have not much faith in women in fiction.... Women are so horribly subjective and they have such scorn for the healthy commonplace. When a woman writes a story of adventure, a stout sea tale, a manly battle yarn, anything without wine, women, and love, then I will begin to hope for something great from them, not before.
Willa Cather
Image
Who doubting tyranny, and fainting under Fortune's false lottery, desperately run To death, for dread of death that soul's most stout, That, bearing all mischance, dares last it out.
Francis Beaumont
Image
This is one of the stout-hearted old warriors: he is angry with civilization because he supposes that its aim is to make all goodthings--honors, treasures, beautiful women--accessible even to cowards.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Art is long, and time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Image
Live as brave men and face adversity with stout hearts.
Horace
Image
At first sin was as fragile as a spiders thread, and finally as stout as a ship's hawser sin arrived as a passerby, next lingered for a moment, then came as a visitor, and finally became master of the house.
Israel Shenker
Image
There is not an enemy so stout, as to storm and take the fortress of the mind, Unless its infirmity turn traitor, and Fear unbar the gates.
John Adams
Image
...Enduring comprises a strong activity of the soul, namely, a vigorous grasping of and clinging to the good and only from this stout-hearted activity can the strength to support the physical and spiritual suffering of injury and death be nourished.
Josef Pieper
Image
My chance, when it came, was due, literally, to the fact that I was slender.... You cannot make an opera audience believe that a man will endanger his soul, and commit robbery and murder for a very stout lady's sake.
Maria Jeritza
