More quotes by Samuel Butler
Logic is like the sword - those who appeal to it, shall perish by it.
Samuel Butler

Samuel Butler
The course of true anything never does run smooth.
Samuel Butler

Samuel Butler
Every man's work, whether it be literature, or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself.
Samuel Butler
In practice it is seldom very hard to do one's duty when one knows what it is, but it is sometimes extremely difficult to find this out.
Samuel Butler
Most people have never learned that one of the main aims in life is to enjoy it.
Samuel Butler
Christ and The Church: If he were to apply for a divorce on the grounds of cruelty, adultery and desertion, he would probably get one.
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
Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.
Samuel Butler
