It is said that Windham, when he came to the end of a speech, often found himself so perplexed by his own subtlety that he hardly knew which way he was going to give his vote. This is a good illustration of the fallaciousness of reasoning, and of the uncertainties which attend its practical application.

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.

I could hardly feel much confidence in a man who had never been imposed upon.

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.

Poetry is to philosophy what the Sabbath is to the rest of the week.

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
Image
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
Image
The mind is like a trunk: if well-packed, it holds almost every thing if ill-packed, next to nothing.
Augustus William Hare
Image
Temporary madness may be necessary in some cases, to cleanse and renovate the mind just as a fit of illness is to carry off the humours of the body.
Augustus William Hare
Image
Few take advice, or physic, without wry faces at it.
Augustus William Hare
Image
The poet sees things as they look. Is this having a faculty the less? or a sense the more?
Augustus William Hare
Image
Do, and have done. The former is far the easiest.
Augustus William Hare
Image
We like slipping, but not falling our real anxiety is to be tempted enough.
Augustus William Hare
Image
I like the smell of a dunged field, and the tumult of a popular election.
