More quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
Bravery never goes out of fashion.
William Makepeace Thackeray
When a man is in love with one woman in a family, it is astonishing how fond he becomes of every person connected with it.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Love seems to survive life, and to reach beyond it. I think we take it with us past the grave. Do we not still give it to those who have left us? May we not hope that they feel it for us, and that we shall leave it here in one or two fond bosoms, when we also are gone?
William Makepeace Thackeray
Dare and the world always yields or if it beats you sometimes, dare it again and it will succumb.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Benevolence and feeling ennoble the most trifling actions.
William Makepeace Thackeray
The death of a child occasions a passion of grief and frantic tears, such as your end, brother reader, will never inspire.
William Makepeace Thackeray
There are many sham diamonds in this life which pass for real, and vice versa.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Choose a good disagreeable friend, if you be wise--a surly, steady, economical, rigid fellow.
William Makepeace Thackeray
That which we call a snob by any other name would still be snobbish.
William Makepeace Thackeray

Pray, dear madam, another glass it is Christmas time, it will do you no harm.
William Makepeace Thackeray
The Pall Mall Gazette is written by gentlemen for gentlemen.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Despair is perfectly compatible with a good dinner, I promise you.
William Makepeace Thackeray
So they pass away: friends, kindred, the dearest-loved, grown people, aged, infants. As we go on the down-hill journey, the mile-stones are grave-stones, and on each more and more names are written unless haply you live beyond man's common age, when friends have dropped off, and, tottering, and feeble, and unpitied, you reach the terminus alone.
William Makepeace Thackeray
The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face.
William Makepeace Thackeray
The world is good natured to people who are good natured.
William Makepeace Thackeray
All is vanity, look you and so the preacher is vanity too.
William Makepeace Thackeray
The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion and so let all young persons take their choice.
William Makepeace Thackeray
