More quotes by Samuel Butler
We all love best not those who offend us least, but those who make it most easy for us to forgive them.
Samuel Butler
Life is one long process of getting tired.
Samuel Butler
If people would dare to speak to one another unreservedly, there would be a good deal less sorrow in the world a hundred years hence.
Samuel Butler
If I die prematurely at any rate I shall be saved from being bored to death by my own success.
Samuel Butler
A man's friendships are, like his will, invalidated by marriage - but they are also no less invalidated by the marriage of his friends.
Samuel Butler
The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.
Samuel Butler
He is greatest who is most often in men's good thoughts.
Samuel Butler
Nature. As the word is now commonly used it excludes nature's most interesting productions-the works of man. Nature is usually taken to mean mountains, rivers, clouds and undomesticated animals and plants. I am not indifferent to this half of nature, but it interests me much less than the other half.
Samuel Butler
Christ was only crucified once and for a few hours. Think of the hundreds of thousands whom Christ has been crucifying in a quiet way ever since.
Samuel Butler
Books want to be born: I never make them. They come to me and insist on being written, and on being such and such.
Samuel Butler
Adversity, if a man is set down to it by degrees, is more supportable with equanimity by most people than any great prosperity arrived at in a single lifetime.
Samuel Butler
Friends are like money, easier made than kept.
Samuel Butler
The advantage of doing one's praising for oneself is that one can lay it on so thick and exactly in the right places.
Samuel Butler
There is such a thing as doing good that evil may come.
Samuel Butler
The wish to spread those opinions that we hold conducive to our own welfare is so deeply rooted in the English character that few of us can escape its influence.
Samuel Butler
God was satisfied with his own work, and that is fatal.
Samuel Butler
The most important service rendered by the press and the magazines is that of educating people to approach printed matter with distrust.
Samuel Butler
If you follow reason far enough it always leads to conclusions that are contrary to reason.
Samuel Butler
Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.
Samuel Butler
When people talk of atoms obeying fixed laws, they are either ascribing some kind of intelligence and free will to atoms or they are talking nonsense. There is no obedience unless there is at any rate a potentiality of disobeying.
Samuel Butler
