More quotes by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Though we speak nonsense, God will pick out the meaning of it.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
...Chillingworth was a striking evidence of man's faculty of transforming himself into a devil, if he will only, for a reasonable space of time, undertake a devil's office.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Some maladies are rich and precious and only to be acquired by the right of inheritance or purchased with gold.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Strength is incomprehensible by weakness, and, therefore, the more terrible.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
There is something truer and more real, than what we can see with the eyes, and touch with the finger.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
No summer ever came back, and no two summers ever were alike. Times change, and people change and if our hearts do not change as readily, so much the worse for us.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Christian faith is a grand cathedral, with divinely pictured windows. Standing without, you see no glory, nor can possibly imagine any standing within, every ray of light reveals a harmony of unspeakable splendors.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Earth has one angel less and heaven one more, since yesterday.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Do anything, save to lie down and die!
Nathaniel Hawthorne
A man--poet, prophet, or whatever be may be--readily persuades himself of his right to all the worship that is voluntarily tendered.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
It is a little remarkable, that - though disinclined to talk overmuch of myself and my affairs at the fireside, and to my personal friends - an autobiographical impulse should twice in my life have taken possession of me, in addressing the public.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nothing is more unaccountable than the spell that often lurks in a spoken word. A thought may be present to the mind, and two minds conscious of the same thought, but as long as it remains unspoken their familiar talk flows quietly over the hidden idea.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Caresses, expressions of one sort or another, are necessary to the life of the affections as leaves are to the life of a tree. If they are wholly restrained, love will die at the roots.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
I do detest all offices - all, at least, that are held on a political tenure.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Accuracy is twin brother to honesty, and inaccuracy to dishonesty.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
The greatest possible mint of style is to make the words absolutely disappear into the thought.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
What, in the name of common-sense, had I to do with any better society than I had always lived in?
Nathaniel Hawthorne
The fiend in his own shape is less hideous than when he rages in the breast of men.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
