More quotes by Samuel Butler
You can do very little with faith, but you can do nothing without it.
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
Whereas, to borrow an illustration from mathematics, life was formerly an equation of, say, 100 unknown quantities, it is now one of 99 only, inasmuch as memory and heredity have been shown to be one and the same thing.
Samuel Butler
A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.
Samuel Butler
There is such a thing as doing good that evil may come.
Samuel Butler
The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.
Samuel Butler
If we attend continually and promptly to the little that we can do, we shall ere long be surprised to find how little remains that we cannot do.
Samuel Butler
Death is only a larger kind of going abroad.
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
Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, etc., and the less we think about it the better.
Samuel Butler
The man who lets himself be bored is even more contemptible than the bore.
Samuel Butler
The healthy stomach is nothing if it is not conservative. Few radicals have good digestions.
Samuel Butler
The course of true anything never does run smooth.
Samuel Butler
Man is the only animal that laughs and has a state legislature.
Samuel Butler
Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.
Samuel Butler
No mistake is more common and more fatuous than appealing to logic in cases which are beyond her jurisdiction.
Samuel Butler
Youth is like spring, an over praised season more remarkable for biting winds than genial breezes. Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits.
Samuel Butler
Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.
Samuel Butler
God cannot alter the past, though historians can.
Samuel Butler
The human intellect owes its superiority over that of the lower animals in great measure to the stimulus which alcohol has given imagination.
Samuel Butler
