Two things, well considered, w...

Two things, well considered, would prevent many quarrels: first, to have it well ascertained whether we are not disputing about terms, rather than things; and, secondly, to examine whether that on which we differ is worth contending about.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

If you cannot avoid a quarrel ...

If you cannot avoid a quarrel with a blackguard, let your lawyer manage it, rather than yourself. No man sweeps his own chimney, but employs a chimney-sweeper, who has no objection to dirty work, because it is his trade.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

In most quarrels there is a fa...

In most quarrels there is a fault on both sides. A quarrel may be compared to a spark, which cannot be produced without a flint, as well as steel. Either of them may hammer on wood forever; no fire will follow.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

We often regret we did not do ...

We often regret we did not do otherwise, when that very otherwise would, in all probability, have done for us.

Revenge is a much more punctual paymaster than gratitude

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Secrecy is the soul of all gre...

Secrecy is the soul of all great designs. Perhaps more has been effected by concealing our own intentions than by discovering those of our enemy.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Secrecy of design, when combin...

Secrecy of design, when combined with rapidity of execution, like me column that guided Israel in the deserts, becomes the guardian pillar of light and fire to our friends, a cloud of overwhelming and impenetrable darkness to our enemies.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

A beautiful woman, if poor, sh...

A beautiful woman, if poor, should use double circumspection; for her beauty will tempt others, her poverty herself.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Villainy that is vigilant will...

Villainy that is vigilant will be an overmatch for virtue, if she slumber at her post.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The greatest and most amiable ...

The greatest and most amiable privilege which the rich enjoy over the poor is that which they exercise the least--the privilege of making others happy.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Man is an embodied paradox, a bundle of contradictions.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

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

Pity a thing often avowed, sel...

Pity a thing often avowed, seldom felt; hatred is a thing often felt, seldom avowed.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Public charities and benevolen...

Public charities and benevolent associations for the gratuitous relief of every species of distress, are peculiar to Christianity; no other system of civil or religious policy has originated them; they form its highest praise and characteristic feature.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The seeds of repentance are so...

The seeds of repentance are sown in youth by pleasure, but the harvest is reaped in age by pain.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Precisely in proportion to our own intellectual weakness will be our credulity as to those mysterious powers assumed by others.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Those that know the least of o...

Those that know the least of others think the highest of themselves.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

An Irish man fights before he ...

An Irish man fights before he reasons, a Scotchman reasons before he fights, an Englishman is not particular as to the order of precedence, but will do either to accommodate his customers.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

When we feel a strong desire t...

When we feel a strong desire to thrust our advice upon others, it is usually because we suspect their weakness; but we ought rather to suspect our own.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

When certain persons abuse us,...

When certain persons abuse us, let us ask ourselves what description of characters it is that they admire; we shall often find this a very consolatory question.
