When will talkers refrain from evil speaking: when listeners refrain from evil-hearing.
Augustus William Hare
Nobody who is afraid of laughing, and heartily too, at his friend, can be said to have a true and thorough love for him.
Augustus William Hare

Augustus William Hare
What a type of happy family is the family of the Sun! With what order, with what harmony, with what blessed peace, do his children the planets move around him, shining with light which they drink in from their parent's in at once upon him and on one another!
Augustus William Hare
If you wish a general to be beaten, send him a ream full of instructions if you wish him to succeed, give him a destination, and bid him conquer.
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 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
