Time is the most undefinable y...

Time is the most undefinable yet paradoxical of things; the past is gone, the future is not come, and the present becomes the past, even while we attempt to define it.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Time ... advances like the slo...

Time ... advances like the slowest tide, but retreats like the swiftest torrent.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Time, the cradle of hope.... W...

Time, the cradle of hope.... Wisdom walks before it, opportunity with it, and repentance behind it: he that has made it his friend will have little to fear from his enemies, but he that has made it his enemy will have little to hope from his friends.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Time,- that black and narrow isthmus between two eternities.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Friendship often ends in love,...

Friendship often ends in love, but love in friendship - never.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

In science, reason is the guid...

In science, reason is the guide; in poetry, taste. The object of the one is truth, which is uniform and indivisible; the object of the other is beauty, which is multiform and varied.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

A Christian builds his fortitu...

A Christian builds his fortitude on a better foundation than stoicism; he is pleased with every thing that happens, because he knows it could not happen unless it first pleased God, and that which pleases Him must be best.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The mistakes of the fool are k...

The mistakes of the fool are known to the world, but not to himself. The mistakes of the wise man are known to himself, but not to the world.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

We should choose our books as ...

We should choose our books as we would our companions, for their sterling and intrinsic merit.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Men are more readily contented...

Men are more readily contented with no intellectual light than with a little; and wherever they have been taught to acquire some knowledge in order to please others, they have most generally gone on to acquire more, to please themselves.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Mathematicians have sought kno...

Mathematicians have sought knowledge in figures, Philosophers in systems, Logicians in subtleties, and Metaphysicians in sounds. It is not in any nor in all of these. He that studies only men, will get the body of knowledge without the soul, and he that studies only books, the soul without the body.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The further we advance in know...

The further we advance in knowledge, the more simplicity shall we discover in those primary rules that regulate all the apparently endless, complicated, and multiform operations of the Godhead.

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 he does not know, and will gain more credit by his adroit mode of hiding his ignorance than the pedant by his awkward attempt to exhibit his erudition.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

In the pursuit of knowledge, f...

In the pursuit of knowledge, follow it wherever it is to be found; like fern, it is the produce of all climates, and like coin, its circulation is not restricted to any particular class.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The highest knowledge can be n...

The highest knowledge can be nothing more than the shortest and clearest road to truth; all the rest is pretension, not performance, mere verbiage and grandiloquence, from which we can learn nothing.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

It has been observed that a dw...

It has been observed that a dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant will see farther than the giant himself; and the moderns, standing as they do on the vantage ground of former discoveries and uniting all the fruits of the experience of their forefathers, with their own actual observation, may be admitted to enjoy a more enlarged and comprehensive view of things than the ancients themselves.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Truth can hardly be expected t...

Truth can hardly be expected to adapt herself to the crooked policy and wily sinuosities of worldly affairs; for truth, like light, travels only in straight lines.

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 pleasures imaginary.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Theories are private property,...

Theories are private property, but truth is common stock.

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.
