Text Quotes
Flatterers are the worst kind of traitors, for they will strengthen thy imperfections, encourage thee in all evils, correct thee in nothing, but so shadow and paint thy follies and vices as thou shalt never, by their will, discover good from evil, or vice from virtue (Ter Quotes)
If thy friends be of better quality than thyself, thou mayest be sure of two things: the first, that they will be more careful to keep thy counsel, because they have more to lose than thou hast; the second, they will esteem thee for thyself, and not for that which thou dost possess (Ter Quotes)
Because all men are apt to flatter themselves, to entertain the addition of other men's praises is most perilous (Ter Quotes)
The difference between a rich man and a poor man is this: the former eats when he pleases, and the latter when he can get it (Ter Quotes)
Our souls, piercing through the impurity of flesh, behold the highest heaven, and thence bring knowledge to contemplate the ever during, glory and termless joy (Ter Quotes)
Take special care that thou never trust any friend or servant with any matter that may endanger thine estate; for so shalt thou make thyself a bond slave to him that thou trustest, and leave thyself always to his mercy (Ter Quotes)
Perhaps I do not know what I was made for; but one thing I certainly never was made for, and that is to put principles on and off at the dictation of a party, as a lackey changes his livery at his master (Ter Quotes)
Reproof is a medicine like mercury or opium; if it be improperly administered, it will do harm instead of good (Ter Quotes)
Being a woman is of special interest only to aspiring male transsexuals. To actual women it is merely a good excuse not to play football (Ter Quotes)
Ignorance breeds monsters to fill up the vacancies of the soul that are unoccupied by the verities of knowledge (Ter Quotes)
Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes. Genuine ignorance is profitable because it is likely to be accompanied by humility, curiosity, and open mindedness; whereas ability to repeat catch phrases, cant terms, familiar propositions, gives the conceit of learning and coats the mind with varnish waterproof to new ideas (Ter Quotes)
Liberalism it is well to recall this today is the supreme form of generosity; it is the right which the majority concedes to minorities and hence it is the noblest cry that has ever resounded in this planet. It announces the determination to share existence with the enemy; more than that, with an enemy which is weak (Ter Quotes)
When I disagree with a rational man, I let reality be our final arbiter; if I am right, he will learn; if I am wrong, I will; one of us will win, but both will profit (Ter Quotes)
Large, naked, raw carrots are acceptable as food only to those who live in hutches eagerly awaiting Easter (Ter Quotes)
The ideal of happiness has always taken material form in the house, whether cottage or castle; it stands for permanence and separation from the world (Ter Quotes)
Children are rarely in the position to lend one a truly interesting sum of money. There are, however, exceptions, and such children are an excellent addition to any party (Ter Quotes)
The planting of trees is the least self centered of all that we can do. It is a purer act of faith than the procreation of children (Ter Quotes)
I do borrow from other writers, shamelessly! I can only say in my defense, like the woman brought before the judge on a charge of kleptomania, I do steal, but, your Honor, only from the very best stores (Ter Quotes)
Every writer is necessarily a critic that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on. The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg nine tenths of him is under water (Ter Quotes)
Many who have spent a lifetime in it can tell us less of love than the child that lost a dog yesterday (Ter Quotes)
Providence has nothing good or high in store for one who does not resolutely aim at something high or good. A purpose is the eternal condition of success (Ter Quotes)
I am not interested in the ephemeral — such subjects as the adulteries of dentists. I am interested in those things that repeat and repeat and repeat in the lives of the millions (Ter Quotes)
Style is but the faintly contemptible vessel in which the bitter liquid is recommended to the world (Ter Quotes)
Many great writers have been extraordinarily awkward in daily exchange, but the greatest give the impression that their style was nursed by the closest attention to colloquial speech (Ter Quotes)
The dead don't stay interested in us living people for very long. gradually, gradually, they let go hold of the Earth... and the ambitions they had... and the pleasures they had... and the things they suffered... and the people they loved. they get weaned away from Earth— that's the way I put it—weaned away (Ter Quotes)
People were always asking for good sound proofs; doubt springs eternal in the human breast, even in countries where the inquisition can read your very thoughts in your eyes (Ter Quotes)
All the idols made by man, however terrifying they may be, are in point of fact subordinate to him, and that is why he will always have it in his power to destroy them (Ter Quotes)
In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation (Ter Quotes)
The writer of originality, unless dead, is always shocking, scandalous; novelty disturbs and repels (Ter Quotes)
Few tasks are more like the torture of sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled, the soiled is made clean, over and over, day after day (Ter Quotes)
