 Art must anchor in nature, or it is the sport of every breath of folly. |
| As hypocrisy is said to be the highest compliment to virtue, the art of lying is the strongest acknowledgment of the force of truth |
| As is our confidence, so is our capacity. |
| As we advance in life, we acquire a keener sense of the value of time. Nothing else, indeed, seems of any consequence; and we become misers in this respect. |
| Asleep, nobody is a hypocrite |
| At the outset of life . . . our imagination has a body to it. |
| Belief is with them mechanical, voluntary: they believe what they are paid for - they swear to that which turns to account. Do you suppose, that after years spent in this manner, they have any feeling left answering to the difference between truth and falsehood? |
| Books let us into their souls and lay open to us the secrets of our own. |
| By despising all that has preceded us, we teach others to despise ourselves |
| Comedy naturally wears itself out -- destroys the very food on which it lives; and by constantly and successfully exposing the follies and weaknesses of mankind to ridicule, in the end leaves itself nothing worth laughing at. |
| Common sense, to most people, is nothing more than their own opinions. |
| Cunning is the art of concealing our own defects, and discovering other people's weaknesses. |
| Death cancels everything but truth; and strips a man of everything but genius and virtue. It is a sort of natural canonization. It makes the meanest of us sacred --it installs the poet in his immortality, and lifts him to the skies. Death is the greatest assayer of the sterling ore of talent. At his touch the dropsy particles fall off, the irritable, the personal, the gross, and mingle with the dust --the finer and more ethereal part mounts with winged spirit to watch over our latest memory, and protect our bones from insult. We consign the least worthy qualities to oblivion, and cherish the nobler and imperishable nature with double pride and fondness. |
| Death is the greatest evil, because it cuts off hope |
| Defoe says that there were a hundred thousand country fellows in his time ready to fight to the death against popery, without knowing whether popery was a man or a horse. |
