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
I could hardly feel much confidence in a man who had never been imposed upon.
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.
Augustus William Hare
How deeply rooted must unbelief be in our hearts when we are surprised to find our prayers answered.
Augustus William Hare
Curiosity is little more than another name for Hope.
