So may he rest; his faults lie gently on him. 15 Hen. VIII., iv. 2.
So much in the world depends upon getting what we want. Prosperity is to the human heart like a sunny south wall to a peach. Holme Lee.
So much of our time is preparation, so much is routine, and so much retrospect, that the pith of each man's genius contracts itself to a very few hours. Emerson.
So much to do, / So little done, such things to be. Tennyson.
So nigh is grandeur to our dust, / So near is God to man, / When Duty whispers low, "Thou must," / The youth replies, "I can!" Emerson.
So schaff' ich am sausenden Webstuhl der 20 Zeit / Und wirke der Gottheit lebendiges Kleid—'Tis thus at the roaring loom of Time I ply, / And weave for God the garment thou seest him by (lit. the living garment of the Deity). Goethe.
So soon as one's heart is tender it is weak. When it is beating so warmly against the breast, and the throat is, as it were, tied tightly, and one strives to press the tears from one's eyes and feels an incomprehensible joy as they begin to flow, then we are so weak that we are fettered by chains of flowers, not because they have become strong through any magic chain, but because we tremble lest we should tear them asunder. Goethe.
So soon as people try honestly to see all they can of anything, they come to a point where a noble dimness begins. They see more than others; but the consequence of their seeing more is, that they feel they cannot see at all; and the more intense their perception, the more the crowd of things which they partly see will multiply upon them. Ruskin.
