More quotes by Samuel Butler
If life must not be taken too seriously, then so neither must death.
Samuel Butler

Samuel Butler
The three most important things a man has are, briefly, his private parts, his money, and his religious opinions.
Samuel Butler
Man is God's highest present development. He is the latest thing in God.
Samuel Butler

Samuel Butler
An apology for the devil: it must be remembered that we have heard one side of the case. God has written all the books.
Samuel Butler

Samuel Butler
There are two classes [of scientists], those who want to know, and do not care whether others think they know or not, and those who do not much care about knowing, but care very greatly about being reputed as knowing.
Samuel Butler
There are two great rules of life the one general and the other particular. The first is that everyone can, in the end, get what he wants, if he only tries. That is the general rule. The particular rule is that every individual is, more or less, an exception to the rule.
Samuel Butler
Neither have they hearts to stay, nor wit enough to run away.
Samuel Butler
Friends are like money, easier made than kept.
Samuel Butler
God as now generally conceived of is only the last witch.
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
Neither irony or sarcasm is argument.
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
No mistake is more common and more fatuous than appealing to logic in cases which are beyond her jurisdiction.
Samuel Butler
There is a photographer in every bush, going about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.
Samuel Butler
Money is the last enemy that shall never be subdued. While there is flesh there is money or the want of money, but money is always on the brain so long as there is a brain in reasonable order.
Samuel Butler
