Our very best friends have a tincture of jealousy even in their
friendship; and when they hear us praised by others, will ascribe
it to sinister and interested motives if they can.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

To know the pains of power, we...

To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to
know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it: the
pains of power are real, its pleasure imaginary.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Most of our misfortune are mor...

Most of our misfortune are more supportable than the comments of
our friends upon them.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Friendship, of itself a holy t...

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, Is made more sacred by adversity.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

There is this difference betwe...

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

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

A man who knows the world will...

A man who knows the world will not only make the most of everything he does know, but of many things that he does not know; and will gain more credit by his adroit mode of hiding his ignorance than the pendant by his awkward attempt to exhibit his erudition.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The profoundly wise do not dec...

The profoundly wise do not declaim against superficial knowledge in others, as much as the profoundly ignorant.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Subtract from the great man al...

Subtract from the great man all that he owes to opportunity, all that he owes to chance, and all that he gained by the wisdom of his friends and the folly of his enemies, and the giant will often be seen to be a pygmy.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Love is an alliance of friends...

Love is an alliance of friendship and animalism; if the former predominates it is passion exalted and refined; if the latter, gross and sensual.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Applause is the spur of noble...

Applause is the spur of noble minds, the end and aim of weak ones.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Did universal charity prevail,...

Did universal charity prevail, earth would be a heaven, and hell a fable.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Physical courage, which despis...

Physical courage, which despises all danger, will make a man brave in one way; and moral courage, which despises all opinion, will make a man brave in another.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Falsehood is never so successf...

Falsehood is never so successful as when she baits her hook with truth, and no opinions so fastly misled us as those that are not wholly wrong, as no timepieces so effectively deceive the wearer as those that are sometimes right.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The celebrated Galen said that...

The celebrated Galen said that employment was nature's physician. It is indeed so important to happiness that indolence is justly considered the parent of misery.

Imitation is the sincerest flattery.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

No man can purchase his virtue...

No man can purchase his virtue too dear, for it is the only thing whose value must ever increase with the price it has cost us. Our integrity is never worth so much as when we have parted with our all to keep it.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

There is a paradox in pride: it makes some men ridiculous, but prevents others from becoming so.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Men will wrangle for religion;...

Men will wrangle for religion; write for it; fight for it; die for it; anything but live for it.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

As no roads are so rough as those that have just been mended, so no sinners are so intolerant as those that have just turned saints.

The rich are more envied by those who have a little, than by those who have nothing.
