Reason and truth will prevail at last. - [Reason] Reason elevates our thoughts as high as the stars, and leads us through the vast space of this mighty fabric; yet it comes far short of the real extent of our corporeal being. - [Reason] Reason the hoary dotard's dull directress, That loses all, because she hazards nothing; Reason! the tim'rous pilot, that, to shun The rocks of life, forever flies the port. - [Reason] Reason will by degrees submit to absurdity, as the eye is in time accommodated to darkness. - [Reason] Remember that nothing will supply the want of prudence, and that negligence and irregularity long continued will make knowledge useless, wit ridiculous, and genius contemptible. - [Prudence] Repentance, however difficult to be practiced, is, if it be explained without superstition, easily understood. Repentance is the relinquishment of any practice from the conviction that it has offended God. - [Repentance] Reproof should not exhaust its power upon petty failings. - [Manners] Resentment gratifies him who intended an injury, and pains him unjustly who did not intend it. - [Resentment] Resentment is a union of sorrow with malignity; a combination of a passion which all endeavor to avoid with a passion which all concur to detest. - [Resentment] Resolve not to be poor: whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human happiness; it certainly destroys liberty, and it makes some virtues impracticable and others extremely difficult. - [Poverty] Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance, of justice: injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged. - [Revenge] Riches are of no value in themselves; their use is discovered only in that which they procure. - [Riches] Riches exclude only one inconvenience,--that is, poverty. - [Riches] Riches seldom make their owners rich. - [Wealth] Riches, perhaps, do not so often produce crimes as incite accusers. - [Riches] Scarce any man becomes eminently disagreeable but by a departure from his real character, and an attempt at something for which nature or education has left him unqualified. - [Character] Scarcely any degree of judgment is sufficient to restrain the imagination from magnifying that on which it is long detained. - [Imagination] See nations slowly wise, and meanly just, to buried merit raise the tardy bust. - [Monuments] Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings. - [Self-confidence] Self-love is a busy prompter. - [Self-love] Sir, the servants, instead of doing what they are bid, stand round the table in idle clusters, gaping upon their guests; and seem as unfit to attend a company, as to steer a man of war. - [Servants] Sir, there is no end of negative criticism. - [Criticism] Sir, we are a nest of singing birds. - [Birds] Sir, when you have seen one green field, you have seen all green fields. Let us walk down Cheapside. - [Country] Sir, you are giving a reason for it; but that will not make it right. You may have a reason why two and two should make five; but they will still make but four. - [Reason] Displaying page 20 of 37 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 [20] 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37
