More quotes by 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
Bravery never goes out of fashion.

William Makepeace Thackeray
Taste is something quite different from fashion, superior to fashion.
William Makepeace Thackeray
We love being in love, that's the truth on't.
William Makepeace Thackeray
I will bring order from chaos and light from darkness.
William Makepeace Thackeray
In effective womanly beauty form is more than face, and manner more than either.
William Makepeace Thackeray
So, with their usual sense of justice, ladies argue that because a woman is handsome, therefore she is a fool. O ladies, ladies! there are some of you who are neither handsome nor wise.
William Makepeace Thackeray
As fits the holy Christmas birth, Be this, good friends, our carol still Be peace on earth, be peace on earth, To men of gentle will.
