More quotes by Augustus William Hare
I could hardly feel much confidence in a man who had never been imposed upon.
Augustus William Hare
People cannot go wrong, if you don't let them. They cannot go right, unless you let them.
Augustus William Hare
They who disbelieve in virtue because man has never been found perfect, might as reasonably deny the sun because it is not always noon.
Augustus William Hare
The effects of human wickedness are written on the page of history in characters of blood: but the impression soon fades away so more blood must be shed to renew it.
Augustus William Hare
Poetry is to philosophy what the Sabbath is to the rest of the week.
Augustus William Hare
I suspect we have internal senses. The mind's eye since Shakespeare's time has been proverbial and we have also a mind's ear. To say nothing of dreams, one certainly can listen to one's own thoughts, and hear them, or believe that one hears them: the strongest argument adducible in favour of our hearing any thing.
Augustus William Hare
A faith that sets bounds to itself, that will believe so much and no more, that will trust thus far and no further, is none.
Augustus William Hare
Do, and have done. The former is far the easiest.

I was surprised just now at seeing a cobweb around a knocker for it was not on the door of heaven.

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
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
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
Most painters have painted themselves. So have most poets: not so palpably indeed, but more assiduously. Some have done nothing else.
Augustus William Hare
The mind is like a trunk: if well-packed, it holds almost every thing if ill-packed, next to nothing.
Augustus William Hare
We like slipping, but not falling our real anxiety is to be tempted enough.
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
A lawyer's brief will be brief, before a freethinker thinks freely.
Augustus William Hare
Many men spend their lives in gazing at their own shadows, and so dwindle away into shadows thereof.
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
