Joseph Addison
Image
Talk not of love: thou never knew'st its force.
Joseph Addison

A fine coat is but a livery when the person who wears it discovers no higher sense than that of a footman.
Joseph Addison
Image
A solid and substantial greatness of soul looks down with neglect on the censures and applauses of the multitude.
Joseph Addison
Image
One would think that the larger the company is in which we are engaged, the greater variety of thoughts and subjects would be started into discourse but, instead of this we find that conversation is never so much straightened and confined, as in numerous assemblies.
Joseph Addison
Image
Beauty soon grows familiar to the lover, Fades in his eye, and palls upon the sense.
Joseph Addison
Image

Joseph Addison
Image
Nothing is capable of being well set to music that is not nonsense.
Joseph Addison
Image
Music, when thus applied, raises noble hints in the mind of the hearer, and fills it with great conceptions. It strengthens devotion, and advances praise into rapture.
Joseph Addison
Image
Some virtues are only seen in affliction and others only in prosperity.
Joseph Addison
Image
It is certain that there is no other passion which does produce such contrary effects in so great a degree. But this may be said for love, that if you strike it out of the soul, life would be insipid, and our being but half animated.
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
The ways of heaven are dark and intricate, Puzzled in mazes, and perplex'd with errors Our understanding traces them in vain, Lost and bewilder'd in the fruitless search Nor sees with how much art the windings run, Nor where the regular confusion ends.
Joseph Addison
Image
Tis not my talent to conceal my thoughts, Or carry smiles and sunshine in my face, When discontent sits heavy at my heart.
Joseph Addison
Image
A man must be excessively stupid, as well as uncharitable, who believes that there is no virtue but on his own side, and that there are not men as honest as himself who may differ from him in political principles.
Joseph Addison
Image
Music can noble hints impart, Engender fury, kindle love, With unsuspected eloquence can move, And manage all the man with secret art.
