A lawyer's brief will be brief, before a freethinker thinks freely.

Image
Life is the hyphen between matter and spirit.
Augustus William Hare
Image
Much of this world's wisdom is still acquired by necromancy,--by consulting the oracular dead.
Augustus William Hare
Image
The mind is like a trunk: if well-packed, it holds almost every thing if ill-packed, next to nothing.
Augustus William Hare
Image
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
Image
We like slipping, but not falling our real anxiety is to be tempted enough.
Augustus William Hare
Image
I could hardly feel much confidence in a man who had never been imposed upon.
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.

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
Image
Do, and have done. The former is far the easiest.

Image
Temporary madness may be necessary in some cases, to cleanse and renovate the mind just as a fit of illness is to carry off the humours of the body.
Augustus William Hare
Image
Few take advice, or physic, without wry faces at it.
Augustus William Hare
Image
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
Image
Nobody who is afraid of laughing, and heartily too, at his friend, can be said to have a true and thorough love for him.

Image
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.
