More quotes by Augustus William Hare

Augustus William Hare
Much of this world's wisdom is still acquired by necromancy,--by consulting the oracular dead.
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
People cannot go wrong, if you don't let them. They cannot go right, unless you let them.
Augustus William Hare
Few are aware that they want any thing, except pounds schillings and pence.
Augustus William Hare

Augustus William Hare
Science sees signs Poetry, the thing signified. Co-author with his brother Julius Hare.
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
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 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
Do, and have done. The former is far the easiest.
Augustus William Hare
Excessive indulgence to others, especially to children is in fact only self-indulgence under an alias.
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
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
