More quotes by 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
Few take advice, or physic, without wry faces at it.
Augustus William Hare
Excessive indulgence to others, especially to children is in fact only self-indulgence under an alias.
Augustus William Hare
When will talkers refrain from evil speaking: when listeners refrain from evil-hearing.

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.

Seeking is not always the way to find.
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
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
I like the smell of a dunged field, and the tumult of a popular election.
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
People cannot go wrong, if you don't let them. They cannot go right, unless you let them.
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
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
In the moment of our creation we receive the stamp of our individuality and much of life is spent in rubbing off or defacing the impression.
Augustus William Hare
One saves oneself much pain, by taking pains much trouble, by taking trouble.
