More quotes by Augustus William Hare
A faith that sets bounds to itself, that will believe so much and no more, that will trust thus far and no further, is none.
Augustus William Hare
A lawyer's brief will be brief, before a freethinker thinks freely.
Augustus William Hare
I suspect we have internal senses. The mind's eye since Shakespeare's time has been proverbial and we have also a mind's ear. To say nothing of dreams, one certainly can listen to one's own thoughts, and hear them, or believe that one hears them: the strongest argument adducible in favour of our hearing any thing.
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
Excessive indulgence to others, especially to children is in fact only self-indulgence under an alias.
Augustus William Hare
The body too has its rights and it will have them: they cannot be trampled on without peril. The body ought to be the soul's best friend. Many good men however have neglected to make it such: so it has become a fiend and has plagued them.
Augustus William Hare
Poetry is to philosophy what the Sabbath is to the rest of the week.
Augustus William Hare
They who disbelieve in virtue because man has never been found perfect, might as reasonably deny the sun because it is not always noon.
Augustus William Hare
If you wish a general to be beaten, send him a ream full of instructions if you wish him to succeed, give him a destination, and bid him conquer.
Augustus William Hare
They who boast of their tolerance merely give others leave to be as careless about religion as they are themselves. A walrus might as well pride itself on its endurance of cold.
Augustus William Hare
I like the smell of a dunged field, and the tumult of a popular election.
Augustus William Hare
Christianity has carried civilization along with it, whithersoever it has gone and, as if to show that the latter does not depend on physical causes, some of the countries the most civilized in the day's of Augustus are now in a state of hopeless barbarism.
Augustus William Hare
Many actions, like the Rhone, have two sources,--one pure, the other impure.
Augustus William Hare
The mind is like a trunk: if well-packed, it holds almost every thing if ill-packed, next to nothing.
Augustus William Hare
Many men spend their lives in gazing at their own shadows, and so dwindle away into shadows thereof.
Augustus William Hare
Histories used often to be stories: the fashion now is to leave out the story. Our histories are stall-fed: the facts are absorbed by the reflexions, as the meat is sometimes by the fat.
Augustus William Hare
Few are aware that they want any thing, except pounds schillings and pence.
Augustus William Hare
Life is the hyphen between matter and spirit.
Augustus William Hare
One saves oneself much pain, by taking pains much trouble, by taking trouble.
Augustus William Hare
The mind is like a trunk: if well-packed, it holds almost every thing if ill-packed, next to nothing.
