Silence is one great art of conversation. He is not a fool who knows when to hold his tongue and a person may gain credit for sense, eloquence, wit, who merely says nothing to lessen the opinion which others have of these qualities in themselves.
William Hazlitt
Image
What passes in the world for talent or dexterity or enterprise is often only a want of moral principle. We may succeed where others fail, not from a greater share of invention, but from not being nice in the choice of expedients.
William Hazlitt
Image
It takes something of a poet to apprehend and get into the depth, the lusciousness, the spiritual life of a great poem. And so we must be in some way like God in order that we may see God as He is.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
Every man, in judging of himself, is his own contemporary. He may feel the gale of popularity, but he cannot tell how long it will last. His opinion of himself wants distance, wants time, wants numbers, to set it off and confirm it.
William Hazlitt
Image
The best kind of conversation is that which may be called thinking aloud.
William Hazlitt
Image
What conservation education must build is an ethical underpinning for land economics and a universal curiosity to understand the land mechanism. Conservation may then follow.
Aldo Leopold
Image
Relegating grizzlies to Alaska is about like relegating happiness heaven one may never get there.
Aldo Leopold
Image
No wise man can have a contempt for the prejudices of others and he should even stand in a certain awe of his own, as if they were aged parents and monitors. They may in the end prove wiser than he.
William Hazlitt
Image
But wherever the truth may lie, this much is crystal-clear: our bigger-and-better society is now like a hypochondriac, so obsessed with its own economic health as to have lost the capacity to remain healthy. . . . Nothing could be more salutary at this stage than a little healthy contempt for a plethora of material blessings.
Aldo Leopold
Image
Do not quarrel with the world too soon for, bad as it may be, it is the best we have to live in, here. If railing would have made it better, it would have been reformed long ago.
William Hazlitt
Image
The danger in having modern music tied to a period piece is that hearing something may take you out of the moment.
Aldis Hodge
Image
By reflecting a little on this subject I am almost convinced that those numberless small Circuses we see on the moon are the works of the Lunarians and may be called their Towns.
William Herschel
Image
Each film and each character is a completely new set of challenges. It doesn't feel like you can rest on something you may have done well in the past.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
Men can be attracted but not forced to the faith. You may drive people to baptism, (but) you won't move them one step further in religion.
Alcuin
Image
Movie acting may not have a certain kind of glory as true art, but it is damn hard work.
William Holden
Image
I may be crazy but I'd never smash someone's ankles in because I loved them so much. Compassion runs deep in my blood.
Alicia Sixtos
Image
Little did I conceive of the greatness of the defeat (at Bull Run), the magnitude of the disaster which it had entailed upon the United States. So short-lived has been the American Union, that men who saw it rise may live to see it fall.
William Howard Russell
Image
I think his greatest fault is his failure to accord credit to anyone for what he may have done. This is a great weakness in any man.
William Howard Taft
Image
Nature holds the beautiful, for the artist who has the insight to extract it. Thus, beauty lies even in humble, perhaps ugly things, and the ideal, which bypasses or improves on nature, may not be truly beautiful in the end.
Albrecht Durer
Image
The real secrets of Masonry are never told, not even from mouth to ear. For the real secret of Masonry is spoken to your heart and from it to the heart of your brother. Never the language made for tongue may speak it, it is uttered only in the eye in those manifestations of that love which a man has for his friend, which passeth all other loves.
William Howard Taft
Image
The secrecy of Masonry is an honorable secrecy any good man may ask for her secrets those who are worthy will receive them. To give them to those who do not seek, or who are not worthy, would but impoverish the Fraternity and enrich not those who received them.
William Howard Taft
Image
We, as Unitarians, may feel that the world is coming our way.
William Howard Taft
Image
The Government is able to afford a suitable army and a suitable navy. It may maintain them without the slightest danger to the Republic or the cause of free institutions, and fear of additional taxation ought not to change a proper policy in this regard.
William Howard Taft
Image
A system in which we may have an enforced rest from legislation for two years is not bad.
William Howard Taft
