Books, like friends, should b...

Books, like friends, should be few and well chosen. Like friends, too, we should return to them again and again for, like true friends, they will never fail us - never cease to instruct - never cloy.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Life isn't like a book. Life ...

Life isn't like a book. Life isn't logical or sensible or orderly. Life is a mess most of the time. And theology must be lived in the midst of that mess.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

There are some frauds so well...

There are some frauds so well conducted that it would be stupidity not to be deceived by them.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

In life we shall find many me...

In life we shall find many men that are great, and some that are good, but very few men that are both great and good.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Silence is foolish if we are ...

Silence is foolish if we are wise, but wise if we are foolish.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Constant success shows us but...

Constant success shows us but one side of the world; adversity brings out the reverse of the picture.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Moderation is the inseparable...

Moderation is the inseparable companion of wisdom, but with it genius has not even a nodding acquaintance.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Men are born with two eyes, b...

Men are born with two eyes, but with one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as they say.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

There is this difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man, really is so; but he that thinks himself the wisest, is generally the greatest fool.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Suicide sometimes proceeds fr...

Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many live because they are afraid to die, as die because they are afraid to live.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Marriage is a feast where the grace is sometimes better than the dinner.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Power will intoxicate the bes...

Power will intoxicate the best hearts, as wine the strongest heads. No man is wise enough, nor good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

To write what is worth publis...

To write what is worth publishing, to find honest people to publish it, and get sensible people to read it, are the three great difficulties in being an author.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

If a horse has four legs, and...

If a horse has four legs, and I'm riding it, I think I can win.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

No company is preferable to b...

No company is preferable to bad. We are more apt to catch the vices of others than virtues, as disease is far more contagious than health.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Times of great calamity and c...

Times of great calamity and confusion have been productive for the greatest minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace. The brightest thunder-bolt is elicited from the darkest storm.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The consequences of things ar...

The consequences of things are not always proportionate to the apparent magnitude of those events that have produced them. Thus the American Revolution, from which little was expected, produced much; but the French Revolution, from which much was expected, produced little.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Liberty will not descend to a...

Liberty will not descend to a people; a people must raise themselves to liberty; it is a blessing that must be earned before it can be enjoyed.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The greatest friend of truth ...

The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is Humility.
