More quotes by James F. Cooper
All greatness of character is dependent on individuality.
James F. Cooper
New York is essentially national in interest, position, pursuits. No one thinks of the place as belonging to a particular state, but to the United States.
James F. Cooper
As reason and revelation both tell us that this state of being is but a preparation for another of a still higher and more spiritual order, all the interests of life are of comparatively little importance, when put in the balance against the future.
James F. Cooper
The ability to discriminate between that which is true and that which is false is one of the last attainments of the human mind.
James F. Cooper
The expanse of the ocean is seldom seen by the novice with indifference.
James F. Cooper
Death is appalling to those of the most iron nerves, when it comes quietly and in the stillness and solitude of night.
James F. Cooper
Candor is a proof of both a just frame of mind, and of a good tone of breeding. It is a quality that belongs equally to the honest man and to the gentleman.
James F. Cooper
Where are your combing seas, your blue water, your rollers, your breakers, your whales, or your waterspouts, and your endless motion, in this bit of a forest, child?
James F. Cooper
Perfection is always found in maturity, whether it be in the animal or in the intellectual world. Reflection is the mother of wisdom, and wisdom the parent of success.
James F. Cooper
The disposition of all power is to abuses, nor does it at all mend the matter that its possessors are a majority. Unrestrained political authority, though it be confided to masses, cannot be trusted without positive limitations, men in bodies being but an aggregation of the passions, weaknesses and interests of men as individuals.
James F. Cooper
Ignorance and superstition ever bear a close and mathematical relation to each other.
James F. Cooper
God planted the seeds of all the trees, continued Hetty, after a moment's pause, and you see to what a height and shade they have grown! So it is with the Bible. You may read a verse this year, and forget it, and it will come back to you a year hence, when you least expect to remember it.
James F. Cooper
A soul,--a spark of the never-dying flame that separates man from all the other beings of earth.
James F. Cooper
The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity, since the tastes, knowledge, and principles of the majority form the tribunal of appeal.
James F. Cooper
tis hard to live in a world where all look upon you as below them.
James F. Cooper
An interesting fiction... however paradoxical the assertion may appear... addresses our love of truth- not the mere love of facts expressed by true names and dates, but the love of that higher truth, the truth of nature and principals, which is a primitive law of the human mind.
James F. Cooper
Systems are to be appreciated by their general effects, and not by particular exceptions.
James F. Cooper
If the newspapers are useful in overthrowing tyrants, it is only to establish a tyranny of their own.
James F. Cooper
It's wisest always to be so clad that our friends need not ask us for our names.
James F. Cooper
Contact with the affairs of state is one of the most corrupting of the influences to which men are exposed.
