More quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
What woman, however old, has not the bridal-favours and raiment stowed away, and packed in lavender, in the inmost cupboards of her heart?
William Makepeace Thackeray
Almost all women have hearts full of pity.
William Makepeace Thackeray
I never knew whether to pity or congratulate a man on coming to his senses.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Kindnesses are easily forgotten but injuries! what worthy man does not keep those in mind?
William Makepeace Thackeray
Almost all women will give a sympathizing hearing to men who are in love. Be they ever so old, they grow young again with that conversation, and renew their own early times.
William Makepeace Thackeray
If fun is good, truth is still better, and love best of all.
William Makepeace Thackeray
She had not character enough to take to drinking, and moaned about, slip-shod and in curl-papers, all day.
William Makepeace Thackeray
A man is seldom more manly than when he is what you call unmanned,--the source of his emotion is championship, pity, and courage the instinctive desire to cherish those who are innocent and unhappy, and defend those who are tender and weak.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Bravery never goes out of fashion.
William Makepeace Thackeray
There are many sham diamonds in this life which pass for real, and vice versa.
William Makepeace Thackeray
The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face.
William Makepeace Thackeray
If you will fling yourself under the wheels, Juggernaut will go over you depend upon it.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Oh, Vanity of vanities! How wayward the decrees of Fate are How very weak the very wise, How very small the very great are!
William Makepeace Thackeray
If I mayn't tell you what I feel, what is the use of a friend?
William Makepeace Thackeray
In the midst of friends, home, and kind parents, she was alone.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Oh, those women! They nurse and cuddle their presentiments, and make darlings of their ugliest thoughts.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Though small was your allowance, You saved a little store: And those who save a little, Shall get a plenty more.
William Makepeace Thackeray
If people only made prudent marriages, what a stop to population there would be!
William Makepeace Thackeray
Next to the young, I suppose the very old are the most selfish. Alas, the heart hardens as the blood ceases to run. The cold snow strikes down from the head, and checks the glow of feeling. Who wants to survive into old age after abdicating all his faculties one by one, and be sans teeth, sans eyes, sans memory, sans hope, sans sympathy?
William Makepeace Thackeray
The great moments of life are but moments like the others. Your doom is spoken in a word or two. A single look from the eyes a mere pressure of the hand, may decide it or of the lip,s though they cannot speak.
William Makepeace Thackeray
