More quotes by Samuel Butler
A man should be just cultured enough to be able to look with suspicion upon culture at first, not second hand.
Samuel Butler

Samuel Butler
The history of art is the history of revivals.
Samuel Butler
The man who lets himself be bored is even more contemptible than the bore.
Samuel Butler

Samuel Butler

Samuel Butler

Samuel Butler
Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
Samuel Butler
If a man knows not life which he hath seen, how shall he know death, which he hath not seen?
Samuel Butler
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
Samuel Butler
The extremes of vice and virtue are alike detestable, and absolute virtue is as sure to kill a man as absolute vice is.
Samuel Butler
The course of true anything never does run smooth.
Samuel Butler
Men are seldom more commonplace than on supreme occasions.
Samuel Butler
He that complies against his will, Is of his own opinion still.
Samuel Butler
Inspiration is never genuine if it is known as inspiration at the time. True inspiration always steals on a person its importance not being fully recognized for some time.
Samuel Butler
