More quotes by Augustus William Hare
People cannot go wrong, if you don't let them. They cannot go right, unless you let them.
Augustus William Hare
When will talkers refrain from evil speaking: when listeners refrain from evil-hearing.
Augustus William Hare
I could hardly feel much confidence in a man who had never been imposed upon.

Augustus William Hare
There are men whom you will never dislodge from an opinion, except by taking possession of it yourself.
Augustus William Hare
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
We look to our last sickness for repentance, unmindful that it is during a recovery men repent, not during a sickness.
Augustus William Hare
Few are aware that they want any thing, except pounds schillings and pence.
Augustus William Hare
Many men spend their lives in gazing at their own shadows, and so dwindle away into shadows thereof.
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
The poet sees things as they look. Is this having a faculty the less? or a sense the more?
