War kills men, and men deplore the loss; but war also crushes bad principles and tyrants, and so saves societies.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

He who studies books alone will know how things ought to be, and he who studies men will know how they are.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Contemporaries appreciate the person rather than their merit, posterity will regard the merit rather than the person.

It is always safe to learn, even from our enemies; seldom safe to venture to instruct, even our friends.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Justice to my readers compels...

Justice to my readers compels me to admit that I write because I have nothing to do; justice to myself induces me to add that I will cease to write the moment I have nothing to say.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Of present fame think little,...

Of present fame think little, and of future less; the praises that we receive after we are buried, like the flowers that are strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

We often pretend to fear what we really despise, and more often despise what we really fear.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

To know a man, observe how he...

To know a man, observe how he wins his object, rather than how he loses it; for when we fail, our pride supports us - when we succeed, it betrays us.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Our incomes should be like our shoes; if too small, they will gall and pinch us; but if too large, they will cause us to stumble and to trip.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Many books require no thought...

Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason; they made no such demand upon those who wrote them.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

He that is good, will infalli...

He that is good, will infallibly become better, and he that is bad, will as certainly become worse; for vice, virtue and time are three things that never stand still.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The society of dead authors has this advantage over that of the living: they never flatter us to our faces, nor slander us behind our backs, nor intrude upon our privacy, nor quit their shelves until we take them down.
