Anti-smoking sentiment has replaced middle-class morality entirely. The smoker has taken the place of the homosexual. Today you hear people say things about smokers that used to be said about homosexuals - they pollute the environment you don't want them around your children.
Fran Lebowitz

To feel oppressed by obligation is only to prove that we are incapable of a proper sentiment of gratitude.

The proud are made sour by the remembrance and the vain silent.

The friendship of fine-hearted, generous boys, nurtured amid the romance-engendering comforts and elegancies of life, sometimes transcends the bounds of mere boyishness, and revels for a while in the empyrean of a love which only comes short, by one degree, of the sweetest sentiment entertained between the sexes.

Image
Nothing can be more delicate without being fantastical, nothing more firm and based in nature and sentiment, than the courtship and mutual carriage of the sexes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Poetry is the apotheosis of sentiment.
Madame de Stael

Sarah McLachlan
Image
The true value of a gift is the sentiment behind the gifting.
Shri Radhe Maa

Grace is an energy not a mere sentiment not a mere thought of the Almighty not even a word of the Almighty. It is as real an energy as the energy of electricity. It is a divine energy it is the energy of the divine affection rolling in plenteousness toward the shores of human need.
Benjamin Jowett
Image

Jeanne Julie Eleonore de Lespinasse
Image
Here's a toast to the roast that good fellowship lends, with the sparkle of beer and wine May its sentiment always be deeper, my friends, than the foam at the top of the stein. Then here's to the heartening wassail, wherever good fellows are found Be its master instead of its vassal, and order the glasses around.
Ogden Nash
