There are three modes of bear...

There are three modes of bearing the ills of life; by indifference, which is the most common; by philosophy, which is the most ostentatious; and by religion, which is the most effectual.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Imitation is the highest form...

Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The reason why great men meet...

The reason why great men meet with so little pity or attachment in adversity, would seem to be this: the friends of a great man were made by his fortune, his enemies by himself, and revenge is a much more punctual paymaster than gratitude.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

It is best, if possible, to deceive no one; for he that ... begins by deceiving others, will end ... by deceiving himself.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

He that is good will infallib...

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

There are two principles of e...

There are two principles of established acceptance in morals; first, that self-interest is the mainspring of all of our actions, and secondly, that utility is the test of their value.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The poorest man would not par...

The poorest man would not part with health for money, but the richest would gladly part with all their money for health.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

When you have nothing to say,...

When you have nothing to say, say nothing; a weak defense strengthens your opponent, and silence is less injurious than a bad reply.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Money is the most envied, but...

Money is the most envied, but the least enjoyed. Health is the most enjoyed, but the least envied.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Taking things not as they oug...

Taking things not as they ought to be, but as they are, I fear it must be allowed that Macchiavelli will always have more disciples than Jesus.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The worst thing that can be s...

The worst thing that can be said of the most powerful is that they can take your life; but the same can be said of the most weak.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The more gross the fraud the ...

The more gross the fraud the more glibly will it go down, and the more greedily be swallowed, since folly will always find faith where impostors will find imprudence.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Nothing more completely baffl...

Nothing more completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity himself, than straight forward and simple integrity in another.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Pure truth, like pure gold, h...

Pure truth, like pure gold, has been found unfit for circulation because men have discovered that it is far more convenient to adulterate the truth than to refine themselves.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Pride is less ashamed of bein...

Pride is less ashamed of being ignorant, than of being instructed, and she looks too high to find that, which very often lies beneath her.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

There are many who say more t...

There are many who say more than the truth on some occasions, and balance the account with their consciences by saying less than the truth on others. But the fact is that they are in both instances as fraudulant as he would be that exacted more than his due from his debtors, and paid less than their due to his creditors.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

There is a diabolical trio ex...

There is a diabolical trio existing in the natural man, implacable, inextinguishable, co-operative and consentaneous, pride, envy, and hate; pride that makes us fancy we deserve all the goods that others possess; envy that some should be admired while we are overlooked; and hate, because all that is bestowed on others, diminishes the sum we think due to ourselves.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

We are more inclined to hate ...

We are more inclined to hate one another for points on which we differ, than to love one another for points on which we agree.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

A wise man may be duped as we...

A wise man may be duped as well as a fool; but the fool publishes the triumph of his deceiver; the wise man is silent, and denies that triumph to an enemy which he would hardly concede to a friend; a triumph that proclaims his own defeat.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

When the frustration of my he...

When the frustration of my helplessness seemed greatest, I discovered God's grace was more than sufficient. And after my imprisonment, I could look back and see how God used my powerlessness for His purpose. What He has chosen for my most significant witness was not my triumphs or victories, but my defeat.
