More quotes by Samuel Butler
A definition is the enclosing a wilderness of idea within a wall of words.
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
The public buys its opinions as it buys its meat, or takes in its milk, on the principle that it is cheaper to do this than to keep a cow. So it is, but the milk is more likely to be watered.
Samuel Butler
When a man is in doubt about this or that in his writing, it will often guide him if he asks himself how it will tell a hundred years hence.
Samuel Butler
Look before you leap for as you sow, ye are like to reap.
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

Samuel Butler

Samuel Butler
If God wants us to do a thing, he should make his wishes sufficiently clear. Sensible people will wait till he has done this before paying much attention to him.
Samuel Butler

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
You can do very little with faith, but you can do nothing without it.
Samuel Butler
An obstinate man does not hold opinions, but they hold him for when he is once possessed with an error, it is, like a devil, only cast out with great difficulty.
Samuel Butler
People are always good company when they are doing what they really enjoy.
Samuel Butler
Life is not an exact science, it is an art.
Samuel Butler
Neither have they hearts to stay, nor wit enough to run away.
Samuel Butler
Man is God's highest present development. He is the latest thing in God.
Samuel Butler
