Sir Richard Steele has observed, that there is this difference between the Church of Rome and the Church of England: the one professes to be infallible, the other to be never in the wrong.

There is one passage in the Scriptures to which all the potentates of Europe seem to have given their unanimous assent and approbation....'There went out a decree in the days of Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.'

By paying our other debts, we are equal with all mankind; but in refusing to pay a debt of revenge, we are superior.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

An act by which we make one friend and one enemy is a losing game; because revenge is a much stronger principle than gratitude

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

No men deserve the title of in...

No men deserve the title of infidels so little as those to whom it has been usually applied; let any of those who renounce Christianity, write fairly down in a book all the absurdities that they believe instead of it, and they will find that it requires more faith to reject Christianity than to embrace it.

We make a goddess of Fortune ... and place her in the highest heaven. But it is not fortune that is exalted and powerful, but we ourselves that are abject and weak.

It has been shrewdly said, that when, men abuse us we should suspect ourselves, and when they praise us, them. It is a rare instance of virtue to despise which censure which we do not deserve; and still more rare to despise praise which we do.

Make the most of the day, by determining to spend it on two sorts of acquaintances only--those by whom something may be got, and those from whom something may be learned.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

We shall at all times chance upon men of recondite acquirements, but whose qualifications, from the incommunicative and inactive habits of their owners, are as utterly useless to others as though the possessors had them not.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

He that has never known adversity is but half acquainted with others, or with himself.

Any one can give advice, such as it is, but only a wise man knows how to profit by it.

It is with antiquity as with ancestry, nations are proud of the one, and individuals of the other; but if they are nothing in themselves, that which is their pride ought to be their humiliation.

Charles Caleb Colton 942 quotes

The pride of ancestry is a sup...

The pride of ancestry is a superstructure of the most imposing height, but resting on the most flimsy foundation. It is ridiculous enough to observe the hauteur with which the old nobility look down on the new. The reason of this puzzled me a little, until I began to reflect that most titles are respectable only because they are old; if new, they would be despised, because all those who now admire the grandeur of the stream would see nothing but the impurity of the source.
