Augustus William Hare
Curiosity is little more than another name for Hope.
Augustus William Hare
Many men spend their lives in gazing at their own shadows, and so dwindle away into shadows thereof.
Augustus William Hare
It is well for us that we are born babies in intellect. Could we understand half what mothers say and do to their infants, we should be filled with a conceit of our own importance, which would render us insupportable through life. Happy the boy whose mother is tired of talking nonsense to him before he is old enough to know the sense of it.
Augustus William Hare
Practical life teaches us that people may differ and that both may be wrong: it also teaches us that people may differ and both be right. Anchor yourself fast in the latter faith, or the former will sweep your heart away.
Augustus William Hare
The mind is like a trunk: if well-packed, it holds almost every thing if ill-packed, next to nothing.
