More quotes by 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
We look to our last sickness for repentance, unmindful that it is during a recovery men repent, not during a sickness.
Augustus William Hare
Books, as Dryden has aptly termed them, are spectacles to read nature. Aeschylus and Aristotle, Shakespeare and Bacon, are priests who preach and expound the mysteries of man and the universe. They teach us to understand and feel what we see, to decipher and syllable the hieroglyphics of the senses.
Augustus William Hare
Science sees signs Poetry, the thing signified. Co-author with his brother Julius Hare.
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
Most painters have painted themselves. So have most poets: not so palpably indeed, but more assiduously. Some have done nothing else.
Augustus William Hare
Poetry is to philosophy what the Sabbath is to the rest of the week.
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
One saves oneself much pain, by taking pains much trouble, by taking trouble.
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
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
Nobody who is afraid of laughing, and heartily too, at his friend, can be said to have a true and thorough love for him.
Augustus William Hare
Excessive indulgence to others, especially to children is in fact only self-indulgence under an alias.
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
People cannot go wrong, if you don't let them. They cannot go right, unless you let them.
Augustus William Hare
Life is the hyphen between matter and spirit.
Augustus William Hare
When will talkers refrain from evil speaking: when listeners refrain from evil-hearing.
Augustus William Hare
Do, and have done. The former is far the easiest.
Augustus William Hare
Few take advice, or physic, without wry faces at it.
Augustus William Hare
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.
