Facile and fertile literary brains
Faithfully and religiously eschewed [eschew = avoid; shun]
Fallen into the convenient oblivion of the waste-basket
Fanatical and dangerous excesses
Far off and incredibly remote
Fastidious correctness of form
Fate had turned and twisted a thousand ways
Fed by many currents from the long stream of human experience
Feigning a virtuous indignation
Fertility of argumentative resource
Fictitious and adventitious aid
Finely touched to the fine issues
Fit to stand the gaze of millions
Fits and starts of generosity
Fixed convictions of mankind
Flouted as unpractical
Foolish and inflexible superstition
Fostering and preserving order
Free from all controversial pettifogging
[pettifogging = quibbling over insignificant details]
Freighted with the most precious cargoes
Frequently recurring forms of awkwardness
Fresh and unsuspected loveliness
From the standpoint of expediency and effectiveness
Full and tuneful diction
Full of ardent affection and gratitude
Full of presentiments of some evil
Full of singular freshness, insight and power
Full of speculation and a deep restrained excitement
Fumble and stumble in helpless incapacity
