More quotes by Augustus William Hare
The difference between those whom the world esteems as good and those whom it condemns as bad, is in many cases little else than that the former have been better sheltered from temptation.
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
I could hardly feel much confidence in a man who had never been imposed upon.
Augustus William Hare
A lawyer's brief will be brief, before a freethinker thinks freely.
Augustus William Hare
Some persons take reproof good-humoredly enough, unless you are so unlucky as to hit a sore place. Then they wince and writhe, and start up and knock you down for your impertinence, or wish you good morning.
Augustus William Hare
People cannot go wrong, if you don't let them. They cannot go right, unless you let them.
Augustus William Hare
We like slipping, but not falling our real anxiety is to be tempted enough.
Augustus William Hare
Curiosity is little more than another name for Hope.
Augustus William Hare
Few take advice, or physic, without wry faces at it.
Augustus William Hare
Much of this world's wisdom is still acquired by necromancy,--by consulting the oracular dead.
Augustus William Hare
One saves oneself much pain, by taking pains much trouble, by taking trouble.
Augustus William Hare
Seeking is not always the way to find.
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
Many actions, like the Rhone, have two sources,--one pure, the other impure.
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
There is as much difference between good poetry and fine verses, as between the smell of a flower-garden and of a perfumer's shop.
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
Do, and have done. The former is far the easiest.
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
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
