Quote

It is but seldom that any one overt act produces hostilities between two nations there exists, more commonly, a previous jealousy and ill will, a predisposition to take offense.

More quotes by Washington Irving

Image
History fades into fable fact becomes clouded with doubt and controversy the inscription molders from the tablet: the statue falls from the pedestal. Columns, arches, pyramids, what are they but heaps of sand and their epitaphs, but characters written in the dust?
Washington Irving
Image
The Indians with surprise found the mouldering trees of their forests suddenly teeming with ambrosial sweet and nothing, I am told, can exceed the greedy relish with which they banquet for the first time upon this unbought luxury of the wilderness.
Washington Irving
Image
A mother is the truest friend we have when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us when adversity takes the place of prosperity.
Washington Irving
Image
The idol of today pushes the hero of yesterday out of our recollection and will, in turn, be supplanted by his successor of tomorrow.
Washington Irving
Image
I consider a story merely as a frame on which to stretch my materials.
Washington Irving
Image
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us when adversity takes the place of prosperity when friends desert us when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
Washington Irving
Image
It's a fair wind that blew men to ale.
Washington Irving
Image
The scholar only knows how dear these silent, yet eloquent, companions of pure thoughts and innocent hours become in the season of adversity. When all that is worldly turns to dross around us, these only retain their steady value.
Washington Irving
Image
Great minds have purposes others have wishes.
Washington Irving
Image
In civilized life, where the happiness, and indeed almost the existence, of man depends so much upon the opinion of his fellow men, he is constantly acting a studied part.
Washington Irving
Image
Poetry had breathed over and sanctified the land.
Washington Irving
Image
With every exertion, the best of men can do but a moderate amount of good but it seems in the power of the most contemptible individual to do incalculable mischief.
Washington Irving
Image
Angling is an amusement peculiarly adapted to the mild and cultivated scenery of England
Washington Irving
Image
Sometimes he spent hours together in the great libraries of Paris, those catacombs of departed authors, rummaging among their hoards of dusty and obsolete works in quest of food for his unhealthy appetite. He was, in a manner, a literary ghoul, feeding in the charnel-house of decayed literature.
Washington Irving
Image
It was, as I have said, a fine autumnal day the sky was clear and serene, and nature wore that rich and golden livery which we always associate with the idea of abundance. The forests had put on their sober brown and yellow, while some trees of the tendered kind had been nipped by the frosts into brilliant dyes of orange, purple, and scarlet.
Washington Irving
Image
There is a remembrance of the dead to which we turn even from the charms of the living.
Washington Irving
Image
True love will not brook reserve it feels undervalued and outraged, when even the sorrows of those it loves are concealed from it.
Washington Irving
Image
Surely happiness is reflective, like the light of heaven and every countenance, bright with smiles, and glowing with innocent enjoyment, is a mirror transmitting to others the rays of a supreme and ever-shining benevolence.
Washington Irving
Image
There are moments of mingled sorrow and tenderness, which hallow the caresses of affection.
Washington Irving
Image
The Englishman is too apt to neglect the present good in preparing against the possible evil.
