More quotes by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
What, after all, is heaven, but a transition from dim guesses and blind struggling with a mysterious and adverse fate to the fullness of all wisdom--from ignorance, in a word, to knowledge, but knowledge of what order?
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Fate! There is no fate. Between the thought and the success God is the only agent. Fate is not the ruler, but the servant of Providence.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
To the thinker, the most trifling external object often suggests ideas, which, like Homer's chain, extend, link after link, from earth to heaven.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Prudence, patience, labor, valor these are the stars that rule the career of mortals.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
He who writes prose builds his temple to Fame in rubble he who writes verses builds it in granite.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Shame is like the weaver's thread if it breaks in the net, it is wholly imperfect.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

Men who make money rarely saunter men who save money rarely swagger.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
There is one form of hope which is never unwise, and which certainly does not diminish with the increase of knowledge. In that form it changes its name, and we call it patience.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
In science, read, by preference, the newest works in literature the oldest.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
A man who cannot win fame in big own age will have a very small chance of winning it from posterity. True, there are some half-dozen exceptions to this truth among millions of myriads that attest it but what man of common sense would invest any large amount of hope in so unpromising a lottery?
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Character is money and according as the man earns or spends the money, money in turn becomes character. As money is the most evident power in the world's uses, so the use that he makes of money is often all that the world knows about a man.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity and truth accomplishes no victories without it
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Beautiful eyes in the face of a handsome woman are like eloquence to speech.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Revolutions are not made with rosewater.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
It may, indeed, be said that sympathy exists in all minds, as Faraday has discovered that magnetism exists in all metals but a certain temperature is required to develop the hidden property, whether in the metal or the mind.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
In some exquisite critical hints on Eurythmy, Goethe remarks, that the best composition in pictures is that which, observing the most delicate laws of harmony, so arranges the objects that they by their position tell their own story. And the rule thus applied to composition in painting applies no less to composition in literature.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Fame confers a rank above that of gentleman and of kings. As soon as she issues her patent of nobility, it matters not a straw whether the recipient be the son of a Bourbon or of a tallow-chandler.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
The law is a gun, which if it misses a pigeon always kills a crow if it does not strike the guilty, it hits someone else. As every crime creates a law, so in turn every law creates a crime.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
