More quotes by Ann Radcliffe
There is no accounting for tastes.
Ann Radcliffe
What are riches - grandeur - health itself, to the luxury of a pure conscience, the health of the soul - and what the sufferings of poverty, disappointment, despair - to the anguish of an afflicted one!
Ann Radcliffe
Happiness has this essential difference from what is commonly called pleasure, that virtue forms its basis, and virtue being the offspring of reason, may be expected to produce uniformity of effect.
Ann Radcliffe
There is some magic in wealth, which can thus make persons pay their court to it, when it does not even benefit themselves.
Ann Radcliffe
Happiness arises in a state of peace, not of tumult.
Ann Radcliffe
When the mind has once begun to yield to the weakness of superstition, trifles impress it with the force of conviction.
Ann Radcliffe
Ignorance of true pleasure more frequently than temptation to that which is false, leads to vice.
Ann Radcliffe
I wish that all those, who on this night are not merry enough to speak before they think, may ever after be grave enough to think before they speak!
Ann Radcliffe
He loved the soothing hour, when the last tints of light die away when the stars, one by one, tremble through æther, and are reflected on the dark mirror of the waters that hour, which, of all others, inspires the mind with pensive tenderness, and often elevates it to sublime contemplation.
Ann Radcliffe
What is acquired without labor is seldom worth acquiring at all.
Ann Radcliffe
Vanity often produces unreasonable alarm.
Ann Radcliffe
The world ridicules a passion which it seldom feels its scenes, and its interests, distract the mind, deprave the taste, corrupt the heart, and love cannot exist in a heart that has lost the meek dignity of innocence.
Ann Radcliffe
But no matter for that, you can be tolerably happy, perhaps, notwithstanding but as for guessing how happy I am, or knowing anything about the matter,--- O! its quite beyond what you can understand.
Ann Radcliffe
Fate sits on these dark battlements and frowns, And as the portal opens to receive me, A voice in hollow murmurs through the courts Tells of a nameless deed.
Ann Radcliffe
Do you believe your heart to be, indeed, so hardened, that you can look without emotion on the suffering, to which you would condemn me?
Ann Radcliffe
To discover depravity in those whom we have loved, is one of the most exquisite tortures to a virtuous mind, and the conviction is often rejected before it is finally admitted.
Ann Radcliffe
To a generous mind few circumstances are more afflicting than a discovery of perfidy in those whom we have trusted.
Ann Radcliffe
Poverty cannot deprive us of many consolations. It cannot rob us of the affection we have for each other, or degrade us in our own opinion, of in that of any person, whose opinion we ought to value.
Ann Radcliffe
And since, in our passage through this world, painful circumstances occur more frequently than pleasing ones, and since our sense of evil is, I fear, more acute than our sense of good, we become the victims of our feelings, unless we can in some degree command them.
Ann Radcliffe
I never trust people's assertions, I always judge of them by their actions.
Ann Radcliffe
