How often one sees people looking far and wide for what they are holding in their hands? Why! I am doing it myself at this very moment (Augustus Hare Quotes)
Temporary madness may be necessary in some cases, to cleanse and renovate the mind; just as a fit of illness is to carry off the humours of the body (Augustus Hare Quotes)
Would you touch a nettle without being stung by it? Take hold of it stoutly. Do the same to other annoyances, and hardly will any thing annoy you (Augustus Hare Quotes)
How many merits one sees in those one likes! How many faults in those one dislikes! Yet people fancy they see with their eyes (Augustus Hare Quotes)
They who disbelieve in virtue because man has never been found perfect, might as reasonably deny a sun because it is not always day (Augustus Hare Quotes)
The reason why many people are so fond of using superlatives, is, they are so positive that the poor positive is not half positive enough for them (Augustus Hare Quotes)
A weak mind sinks under prosperity as well as under adversity. A strong and deep one has two highest tides, when the moon is at the full, and when there is no moon (Augustus Hare Quotes)
They who boast of their tolerance merely give others leave to be as careless about religion as they are themselves. A walrus might as well pride itself on its endurance of cold (Augustus Hare Quotes)
Mythology is not religion. It may rather be regarded as the ancient substitute, the poetical counterpart, for dogmatic theology (Augustus Hare Quotes)
Forms and regularity of proceeding, if they are not justice, partake much of the nature of justice, which, in its highest sense, is the spirit of distributive order (Augustus Hare Quotes)
Instead of watching the bird as it flies above our heads, we chase his shadow along the ground; and, finding we cannot grasp it, we conclude it to be nothing (Augustus Hare Quotes)
We look to our last sickness for repentance, unmindful that it is during a recovery men repent, not during a sickness (Augustus Hare Quotes)
Sudden resolutions, like the sudden rise of the mercury in the barometer, indicate little else than the changeableness of the weather (Augustus Hare Quotes)
What a person praises is perhaps a surer standard, even than what he condemns, of his own character, information and abilities (Augustus Hare Quotes)
A portrait has one advantage over its original: it is unconscious; and you may therefore admire without insulting it. I have seen portraits which have more (Augustus Hare Quotes)
The power of faith will often shine forth the most when the character is naturally weak (Augustus Hare Quotes)
A man prone to suspect evil is mostly looking in his neighbor for what he sees in himself (Augustus Hare Quotes)
A statesman, we are told, should follow public opinion. Doubtless, as a coachman follows his horses; having firm hold on the reins and guiding them (Augustus Hare Quotes)
Examples would indeed be excellent things were not people so modest that none will set, and so vain that none will follow them (Augustus Hare Quotes)
Happy the boy whose mother is tired of talking nonsense to him before he is old enough to know the sense of it (Augustus Hare Quotes)
It is a proof of our natural bias to evil, that gain is slower and harder than loss in all things good; but in all things bad getting is quicker and easier than getting rid of (Augustus Hare Quotes)
It is with flowers as with moral qualities; the bright are sometimes poisonous; but, I believe, never the sweet (Augustus Hare Quotes)
Nothing good bursts forth all at once. The lightning may dart out of a black cloud; but the day sends his bright heralds before him, to prepare the world for his coming (Augustus Hare Quotes)
Only when the voice of duty is silent, or when it has already spoken, may we allowably think of the consequences of a particular action (Augustus Hare Quotes)
Since the generality of persons act from impulse, much more than from principle, men are neither so good nor so bad as we are apt to think them (Augustus Hare Quotes)
Some people carry their hearts in their heads; very many carry their heads in their hearts. The difficulty is to keep them apart, yet both actively working together (Augustus Hare Quotes)
There is no being eloquent for atheism. In that exhausted receiver the mind cannot use it's wings, the clearest proof that it is out of it's element (Augustus Hare Quotes)
An abridgement may be a bridge: it may help us over the water: but it keeps us from drinking (Augustus Hare Quotes)
