Augustus William Hare
Much of this world's wisdom is still acquired by necromancy,--by consulting the oracular dead.
Augustus William Hare
Curiosity is little more than another name for Hope.
Augustus William Hare
We like slipping, but not falling our real anxiety is to be tempted enough.
Augustus William Hare
People cannot go wrong, if you don't let them. They cannot go right, unless you let them.
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.
Augustus William Hare
There are men whom you will never dislodge from an opinion, except by taking possession of it yourself.
Augustus William Hare
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
