More quotes by Augustus William Hare
Many actions, like the Rhone, have two sources,--one pure, the other impure.
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
I could hardly feel much confidence in a man who had never been imposed upon.
Augustus William Hare
I was surprised just now at seeing a cobweb around a knocker for it was not on the door of heaven.
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
It is said that Windham, when he came to the end of a speech, often found himself so perplexed by his own subtlety that he hardly knew which way he was going to give his vote. This is a good illustration of the fallaciousness of reasoning, and of the uncertainties which attend its practical application.
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
When will talkers refrain from evil speaking: when listeners refrain from evil-hearing.
Augustus William Hare
One saves oneself much pain, by taking pains much trouble, by taking trouble.
Augustus William Hare
How deeply rooted must unbelief be in our hearts when we are surprised to find our prayers answered.
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
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
The mind is like a trunk: if well-packed, it holds almost every thing if ill-packed, next to nothing.
Augustus William Hare
The poet sees things as they look. Is this having a faculty the less? or a sense the more?
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
Science sees signs Poetry, the thing signified. Co-author with his brother Julius Hare.
Augustus William Hare
Few are aware that they want any thing, except pounds schillings and pence.
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
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
