The thoughtful excitement of lonely rambles, of gardening, and of other like occupations, where the mind has leisure to must during the healthful activity of the body, with the fresh and wakeful breezes blowing round it.
Augustus William Hare
Many actions, like the Rhone, have two sources,--one pure, the other impure.
Augustus William Hare
How deeply rooted must unbelief be in our hearts when we are surprised to find our prayers answered.
Augustus William Hare
People cannot go wrong, if you don't let them. They cannot go right, unless you let them.
Augustus William Hare
The difference between those whom the world esteems as good and those whom it condemns as bad, is in many cases little else than that the former have been better sheltered from temptation.
Augustus William Hare
