The grass is human nature borne down and bleached of all its colour by it. The shapes which are found beneath are the crafty beings that thrive in darkness, and the weaker organisms kept helpless by it. He who turns the stone over is whosoever puts the staff of truth to the old lying incubus, no matter whether he do it with a serious face or a laughing one.
I have fought them for twenty years. But I am a historian, and I know that bullies thrive best in an atmosphere of meekness. As long as this military system lasts you must discourage the mailed fist by showing that you will meet it with something harder than a boxing glove.
Be good to them when the baby flesh is on them, and they'll grow and thrive, and your siller'll a' come back in the milking." The countryside clavered and havered when he bought his pedigree bulls and his pedigree mares.
It is hard to wive and thrive in a year. It is good sleeping in a heal skin. It is not tint that is done to friends. It is ill to draw a strea before an old Cat. It is a pain both to pay and pray. It is good fishing in drumbling waters. It is little of God's might, to make a poor man a Knight. It is good baking besides meal. It is a good Goose that drops ay.

But, notwithstanding all these complicated miseries, they were wicked enough to thrive and grow, and when on shore forgot all their troubles and enjoyed themselves like princes. The first surgeon’s assistant was a tall, slight young man, with his head filled with the Pharmacopoeia, bleeding, blistering and gallipots. We dubbed him “The Village Apothecary,” and sometimes “Snipes.”
It is a lovely neuk, this Braehead, preserved almost as it was two hundred years ago. "Lot and his wife," mentioned by Maidie, two quaintly cropped yew-trees, still thrive; the burn runs as it did in her time, and sings the same quiet tune, as much the same and as different as Now and Then.
The truth is, I do indulge myself a little the more in pleasure, knowing that this is the proper age of my life to do it; and out of my observation that most men that do thrive in the world, do forget to take pleasure during the time that they are getting their estate, but reserve that till they have got one, and then it is too late for them to enjoy it with any pleasure.
You know we agreed to be friends, yet our friendship does not seem to thrive, it is dying of starvation because we so rarely meet; still, for the sake of our shadowy friendship, answer me: may I put the natural construction on De Burgh's sudden departure from England?"
