Some read to think, these are rare; some to write, these are common; and some read to talk, and these form the great majority.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

No disorders have employed so ...

No disorders have employed so many quacks, as those that have no cure; and no sciences have exercised so many quills, as those that have no certainty.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The acquirements of science ma...

The acquirements of science may be termed the armour of the mind; but that armour would be worse than useless, that cost us all we had, and left us nothing to defend.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Professors in every branch of ...

Professors in every branch of the sciences, prefer their own theories to truth: the reason is that their theories are private property, but truth is common stock.

It is not so difficult a task as to plant new truths, as to root out old errors

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

If rich, it is easy enough to ...

If rich, it is easy enough to conceal our wealth; but, if poor, it is not quite so easy to conceal our poverty. We shall find that it is less difficult to hide a thousand guineas, than one hole in our coat.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The poorest man would not part...

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

Pride is less ashamed of being...

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

Pain may be said to follow pleasure as its shadow; but the misfortune is that in this particular case, the substance belongs to the shadow, the emptiness to its cause.

Pain may be said to follow pleasure as its shadow.

The three great apostles of practical atheism, that make converts without persecuting, and retain them without preaching, are wealth, health and power.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Pure truth, like pure gold, ha...

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

How small a portion of our lif...

How small a portion of our life it is that we really enjoy! In youth we are looking forward to things that are to come; in old age we are looking backward to things that are gone past; in manhood, although we appear indeed to be more occupied in things that are present, yet even that is too often absorbed in vague determinations to be vastly happy on some future day when we have time.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

No metaphysician ever felt the deficiency of language so much as the grateful.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

Body and mind, like man and wi...

Body and mind, like man and wife, do not always agree to die together.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

We should not be too niggardly in our praise, for men will do more to support a character than to raise one.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

There are three kinds of prais...

There are three kinds of praise, that which we yield, that which we lend, and that which we pay. We yield it to the powerful from fear, we lend it to the weak from interest, and we pay it to the deserving from gratitude.
