Science sees signs Poetry, the thing signified. Co-author with his brother Julius Hare.
Augustus William Hare
When a watch goes ill, it is not enough to move the hands you must set the regulator. When a man does ill, it is not enough to alter his handiwork, you must regulate his heart.

Augustus William Hare
Few are aware that they want any thing, except pounds schillings and pence.
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
People cannot go wrong, if you don't let them. They cannot go right, unless you let them.
Augustus William Hare
Curiosity is little more than another name for Hope.
Augustus William Hare
Poetry is to philosophy what the Sabbath is to the rest of the week.
Augustus William Hare
There is as much difference between good poetry and fine verses, as between the smell of a flower-garden and of a perfumer's shop.
