The mind is like a trunk: if well-packed, it holds almost every thing if ill-packed, next to nothing.
Augustus William Hare
There are men whom you will never dislodge from an opinion, except by taking possession of it yourself.
Augustus William Hare
They who boast of their tolerance merely give others leave to be as careless about religion as they are themselves. A walrus might as well pride itself on its endurance of cold.
Augustus William Hare
People cannot go wrong, if you don't let them. They cannot go right, unless you let them.
Augustus William Hare
Life is the hyphen between matter and spirit.
Augustus William Hare
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.
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
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
Science sees signs Poetry, the thing signified. Co-author with his brother Julius Hare.

How deeply rooted must unbelief be in our hearts when we are surprised to find our prayers answered.
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
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
We like slipping, but not falling our real anxiety is to be tempted enough.
Augustus William Hare
One saves oneself much pain, by taking pains much trouble, by taking trouble.
Augustus William Hare
Excessive indulgence to others, especially to children is in fact only self-indulgence under an alias.
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
A lawyer's brief will be brief, before a freethinker thinks freely.
Augustus William Hare
Few are aware that they want any thing, except pounds schillings and pence.
Augustus William Hare
Books, as Dryden has aptly termed them, are spectacles to read nature. Aeschylus and Aristotle, Shakespeare and Bacon, are priests who preach and expound the mysteries of man and the universe. They teach us to understand and feel what we see, to decipher and syllable the hieroglyphics of the senses.
Augustus William Hare
When will talkers refrain from evil speaking: when listeners refrain from evil-hearing.
