A common civility to an impertinent fellow, often draws upon one a great many unforeseen troubles; and if one doth not take particular care, will be interpreted by him as an overture of friendship and intimacy (Joseph Addison Quotes)

Nature in her whole drama never drew such a part; she has sometimes made a fool, but a coxcomb is always of a man’s own making (Joseph Addison Quotes)

There is nobody so weak of invention that cannot make some little stories to villify his enemy (Joseph Addison Quotes)
Most of the trades, professions, and ways of living among mankind, take their original either from the love of the pleasure, or the fear of want. The former, when it becomes too violent, degenerates into luxury, and the latter into avarice (Joseph Addison Quotes)
A person may be qualified to do greater good to mankind and become more beneficial to the world, by morality without faith than by faith without morality (Joseph Addison Quotes)
Honor’s a fine imaginary notion, that draws in raw and unexperienced men to real mischiefs (Joseph Addison Quotes)
What I spent I lost; what I possessed is left to others; what I gave away remains with me (Joseph Addison Quotes)
If men would consider not so much wherein they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry feeling in the world (Joseph Addison Quotes)
Nothing that isn’t a real crime makes a man appear so contemptible and little in the eyes of the world as inconsistency (Joseph Addison Quotes)
A man must be both stupid and uncharitable who believes there is no virtue or truth but on his own side (Joseph Addison Quotes)
A true critic ought to dwell upon excellencies rather than imperfections, to discover the concealed beauties of a writer, and communicate to the world such things as are worth their observation (Joseph Addison Quotes)
An ostentatious man will rather relate a blunder or an absurdity he has committed, than be debarred from talking of his own dear person (Joseph Addison Quotes)
Friendships, in general, are suddenly contracted; and therefore it is no wonder they are easily dissolved (Joseph Addison Quotes)
He who would pass his declining years with honor and comfort, should, when young, consider that he may one day become old, and remember when he is old, that he has once been young (Joseph Addison Quotes)

Mirth is like a flash of lightning, that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment; cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity (Joseph Addison Quotes)
One should take good care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of life as laughter (Joseph Addison Quotes)
That he delights in the misery of others no man will confess, and yet what other motive can make a father cruel? (Joseph Addison Quotes)
