Samuel Butler
History is a bucket of ashes.
Samuel Butler

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

Samuel Butler
People are always good company when they are doing what they really enjoy.
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
The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.
Samuel Butler
There is no such source of error as the pursuit of absolute truth.
Samuel Butler
The worst thing that can happen to a man is to lose his money, the next worst his health, the next worst his reputation.
Samuel Butler
Logic is like the sword - those who appeal to it, shall perish by it.
Samuel Butler
Neither irony or sarcasm is argument.
Samuel Butler
Arguments are like fire-arms which a man may keep at home but should not carry about with him.
Samuel Butler
You can do very little with faith, but you can do nothing without it.
Samuel Butler
