More quotes by Augustus William Hare
I could hardly feel much confidence in a man who had never been imposed upon.
Augustus William Hare
Excessive indulgence to others, especially to children is in fact only self-indulgence under an alias.
Augustus William Hare
The poet sees things as they look. Is this having a faculty the less? or a sense the more?
Augustus William Hare
There are men whom you will never dislodge from an opinion, except by taking possession of it yourself.
Augustus William Hare
It is well for us that we are born babies in intellect. Could we understand half what mothers say and do to their infants, we should be filled with a conceit of our own importance, which would render us insupportable through life. Happy the boy whose mother is tired of talking nonsense to him before he is old enough to know the sense of it.
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
Do, and have done. The former is far the easiest.
Augustus William Hare
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.
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
How deeply rooted must unbelief be in our hearts when we are surprised to find our prayers answered.
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
Curiosity is little more than another name for Hope.
Augustus William Hare
Some persons take reproof good-humoredly enough, unless you are so unlucky as to hit a sore place. Then they wince and writhe, and start up and knock you down for your impertinence, or wish you good morning.
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.
Augustus William Hare
In the moment of our creation we receive the stamp of our individuality and much of life is spent in rubbing off or defacing the impression.
Augustus William Hare
Few are aware that they want any thing, except pounds schillings and pence.
Augustus William Hare
Poetry is to philosophy what the Sabbath is to the rest of the week.
Augustus William Hare
One saves oneself much pain, by taking pains much trouble, by taking trouble.
Augustus William Hare
A lawyer's brief will be brief, before a freethinker thinks freely.
Augustus William Hare
I like the smell of a dunged field, and the tumult of a popular election.
