The sun, the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago... Had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands (Would Quotes)
It is curious how there seems to be an instinctive disgust in man for his nearest ancestors and relations.

Rouze up, o young men of the new age! Set your foreheads against the ignorant hirelings! For we have hirelings in the camp, the court and the university, who would, if they could, for ever depress mental and prolong corporeal war (Would Quotes)
If I had permitted my failures, or what seemed to me at the time a lack of success, to discourage me I cannot see any way in which I would ever have made progress (Would Quotes)
If I had my way books would not be written in English, but in an exceedingly difficult secret language that only skilled professional readers and story-tellers could interpret. Then people would have to go to public halls and pay good prices to hear (Would Quotes)
The world is burdened with young fogies. Old men with ossified minds are easily dealt with. But men who look young, act young and everlastingly harp on the fact that they are young, but who nevertheless think and act with a degree of caution that would be excessive in their grandfathers, are the curse of the world. Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don't know what they are conserving (Would Quotes)
I sometimes wish that people would put a little more emphasis upon the observance of the law than they do upon its enforcement (Would Quotes)
If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is: infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern (Would Quotes)
They criticize me for harping on the obvious; if all the folks in the United States would do the few simple things they know they ought to do, most of our big problems would take care of themselves (Would Quotes)
If you have form'd a circle to go into, go into it yourself, and see how you would do. They said this mystery never shall cease: The priest promotes war, and the soldier peace (Would Quotes)
Could the young but realize how soon they will become mere walking bundles of habits, they would give more heed to their conduct while in the plastic state (Would Quotes)
Do something everyday for no other reason than you would rather not do it, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test (Would Quotes)
He that would pass the latter part of life with honour and decency, must, when he is young, consider that he shall one day be old; and remember, when he is old, that he has once been young (Would Quotes)
Humor must not professedly teach and it must not professedly preach, but it must do both if it would live forever (Would Quotes)
Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen (Would Quotes)
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God (Would Quotes)
It is easy enough to say that poverty is no crime. No; if it were men wouldn't be ashamed of it. It is a blunder, though, and is punished as such. A poor man is despised the whole world over (Would Quotes)
There are two kinds of clocks. There is the clock that is always wrong, and that knows it is wrong, and glories in it; and there is the clock that is always right - except when you rely upon it, and then it is more wrong than you would think a clock could be in a civilized country (Would Quotes)
There are the goods; if you want them, you can have them. If you do not want them, they would almost rather that you did not come and talk about them (Would Quotes)
What we do is less than a drop in the ocean. But if it were missing, the ocean would lack something (Would Quotes)
What inning is the world in right now, would you say? Top of the ninth? Bottom of the ninth?” “Neither,” the pastor said. His face was flush with anticipation. “We’re in extra innings (Would Quotes)
Angels may be very excellent sort of folk in their own way, but we, poor mortals in our present state, would probably find them precious slow company (Would Quotes)
