Joseph Butler Quotes

People habituate themselves to let things pass through their minds, as one may speak, rather than to think of them. Thus by use they become satisfied merely with seeing what is said, without going any further. Review and attention, and even forming a judgment, becomes fatigue; and to lay anything before them that requires it, is putting them quite out of their way Picture Quote #1

There is a much more exact correspondence between the natural and moral world than we are apt to take notice of Picture Quote #1

Things and actions are what they are, and the consequences of them will be what they will be: why then should we desire to be deceived? Picture Quote #1

The love of liberty that is not a real principle of dutiful behavior to authority is as hypocritical as the religion that is not productive of a good life Picture Quote #1

However, without considering this connection, there is no doubt but that more good than evil, more delight than sorrow, arises from compassion itself; there being so many things which balance the sorrow of it Picture Quote #1

Consequently it will often happen there will be a desire of particular objects, in cases where they cannot be obtained without manifest injury to others Picture Quote #1

Virtue is not to be considered in the light of mere innocence, or abstaining from harm; but as the exertion of our faculties in doing good Picture Quote #1

It is not at all incredible, that a book which has been so long in the possession of mankind should contain many truths as yet undiscovered Picture Quote #1

Compassion is a call, a demand of nature, to relieve the unhappy as hunger is a natural call for food Picture Quote #1
