Image
When a man has been guilty of any vice or folly, the best atonement he can make for it is to warn others not to fall into the like.
Joseph Addison
Image
Words, when well chosen, have so great a force in them, that a description often gives us more lively ideas than the sight of things themselves.
Joseph Addison
Image
The jealous man's disease is of so malignant a nature, that it converts all it takes into its own nourishment.
Joseph Addison
Image
Nothing that isn't a real crime makes a man appear so contemptible and little in the eyes of the world as inconsistency.
Joseph Addison
Image
Cunning has only private selfish aims, and sticks at nothing which may make them succeed. Discretion has large and extended views, and, like a well-formed eye, commands a whole horizon cunning is a kind of shortsightedness, that discovers the minutest objects which are near at hand, but is not able to discern things at a distance.
Joseph Addison

Joseph Addison
Image
A man that has a taste of music, painting, or architecture, is like one that has another sense, when compared with such as have no relish of those arts
Joseph Addison
Image
Husband a lie, and trump it up in some extraordinary emergency.
Joseph Addison
Image
Antidotes are what you take to prevent dotes.
Joseph Addison
Image
Virtue which shuns, the day.
Joseph Addison
Image
Honour's a sacred tie, the law of kings, The noble mind's distinguishing perfection That aids and strengthens virtue where it meets her And imitates her actions where she is not: It is not to be sported with.
Joseph Addison
Image
When I read the several dates of the tombs, of some that died yesterday, and some six hundred years ago, I consider that great day when we shall all of us be contemporaries, and make our appearance together.
Joseph Addison
Image
Among those evils which befall us, there are many which have been more painful to us in the prospect than by their actual pressure.
Joseph Addison
Image
A thousand trills and quivering sounds In airy circles o'er us fly, Till, wafted by a gentle breeze, They faint and languish by degrees, And at a distance die.
Joseph Addison
Image
Knowledge is, indeed, that which, next to virtue, truly and essentially raises one man above another.
Joseph Addison
Image
My death and life, My bane and antidote, are both before me.
Joseph Addison
