Text Quotes
At court one becomes a sort of human ant eater, and learns to catch one's prey by one's tongue  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) The law is a gun, which if it misses a pigeon always kills a crow; if it does not strike the guilty, it hits some one else. As every crime creates a law, so in turn every law creates a crime  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) Light wines - nothing so treacherous. They inflame the brain like fire while melting on the palate like ice. All inhabitants of light wine countries are quarrelsome  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) In life, as in whist, hope nothing from the way cards may be dealt to you. Play the cards, whatever they be, to the best of your skill  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) There is no man so friendless but what he can find a friend sincere enough to tell him disagreeable truths  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) Debt is to man what the serpent is to the bird; its eye fascinates, its breath poisons, its coil crushes sinew and bone, its jaw is the pitiless grave  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) There is an ill breeding to which, whatever our rank and nature, we are almost equally sensitive, the ill breeding that comes from want of consideration for others  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) The heart of a girl is like a convent - the holier the cloister, the more charitable the door  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) The object of ambition, unlike that of love, never being wholly possessed, ambition is the more durable passion of the two  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) Vanity, indeed, is the very antidote to conceit; for while the former makes us all nerve to the opinion of others, the latter is perfectly satisfied with its opinion of itself  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) Death is the only monastery; the tomb is the only cell, and the grave that adjoins the convent is the bitterest mock of its futility  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) People who are very vain are usually equally susceptible; and they who feel one thing acutely, will so feel another  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) We call some books immortal! Do they live? If so, believe me, time hath made them pure. In Books, the veriest wicked rest in peace  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) That man will never be a perfect gentleman who lives only with gentlemen. To be a man of the world we must view that world in every grade and in every perspective  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) O woman! In ordinary cases so mere a mortal, how, in the great and rare events of life, dost thou swell into the angel!  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) In life it is difficult to say who do you the most mischief, enemies with the worst intentions, or friends with the best  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) The past but lives in words; a thousand ages were blank if books had not evoked their ghosts, and kept the pale, unbodied shades to warn us from fleshless lips  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) The circle of life is cut up into segments. All lines are equal if they are drawn from the centre and touch the circumference  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) Ours is a religion jealous in its demands, but how infinitely prodigal in its gifts! It troubles you for an hour, it repays you by immortality  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) The learned compute that seven hundred and seven millions of millions of vibrations have penetrate the eye before the eye can distinguish the tints of a violet  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) Husband and wife have so many interests in common that when they have jogged through the ups and downs of life a sufficient time, the leash which at first galled often grows easy and familiar  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) There is so little to redeem the dry mass of follies and errors from which the materials of this life are composed that anything to love or to reverence becomes, as it were, the Sabbath for the mind  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) What men want is not talent, it is purpose; in other words, not the power to achieve, but will to labor. I believe that labor judiciously and continuously applied becomes genius  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) We are not such fools as to pay for reading inferior books, when we can read superior books for nothing  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) to be Thine evermore; youth mingled with thy youth, Age with thine age; in thy grave mine; above, Spirit beside thy spirit; - this the love God teacheth man to pray for!  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) No path between the stranger's home and ours should be left unclosed, or the sorrow and evil of his home may descend to ours  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) We love the beautiful and serene, but we have a feeling as deep as love for the terrible and dark  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes) Oh, can these men love, my Clodius? Scarcely even with the senses. How rarely a Roman has a heart! He is but the mechanism of genius - he wants its bones and flesh  (Edward Bulwer-Lytton Quotes)
