Let youth cherish sleep, the h...

Let youth cherish sleep, the happiest of earthly boons, while yet it is at its command; for there cometh the day to all when 'neither the voice of the lute nor the birds' shall bring back the sweet slumbers that fell on their young eyes as unbidden as the dews.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

The more a man desirous to pas...

The more a man desirous to pass at a value above his worth can contrast, by dignified silence, the garrulity of trivial minds, the more the world will give him credit for the wealth which he does not possess.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Shame is like the weaver's thr...

Shame is like the weaver's thread; if it breaks in the net, it is wholly imperfect.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

There is an ill-breeding to wh...

There is an ill-breeding to which, whatever our rank and nature, we are almost equally sensitive, the ill-breeding that comes from want of consideration for others.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Irony is to the high-bred what...

Irony is to the high-bred what billingsgate is to the vulgar; and when one gentleman thinks another gentleman an ass, he does not say it point-blank, he implies it in the politest terms he can invent.

He who seeks repentance for th...

He who seeks repentance for the past, should woo the angel virtue for the future.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Faith builds in the dungeon an...

Faith builds in the dungeon and lazarhouse its sublimest shrines; and up, through roofs of stone, that shut out the eye of heaven, ascends the ladder where the angels glide to and fro,--prayer.

The man who wants his wedding ...

The man who wants his wedding garments to suit him must allow plenty of time for the measure.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Nothing but real love--(how ra...

Nothing but real love--(how rare it is; has one human heart in a million ever known it?) nothing but real love can repay us for the loss of freedom--the cares and fears of poverty--the cold pity of the world that we both despise and respect.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

The grave is, I suspect, the s...

The grave is, I suspect, the sole commonwealth which attains that dead flat of social equality that life in its every principle so heartily abhors.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

There is no man so great as no...

There is no man so great as not to have some littleness more predominant than all his greatness. Our virtues are the dupes, and often only the plaything of our follies.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

A woman too often reasons from...

A woman too often reasons from her heart; hence two-thirds of her mistakes and her troubles.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

There is in the heart of woman...

There is in the heart of woman such a deep well of love that no age can freeze it.

Honest men are the gentlemen o...

Honest men are the gentlemen of nature.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Keep unscathed the good name; ...

Keep unscathed the good name; keep out of peril the honor without which even your battered old soldier who is hobbling into his grave on half-pay and a wooden leg would not change with Achilles.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Days are like years in the lov...

Days are like years in the love of the young, when no bar, no obstacle, is between their hearts,--when the sun shines, and the course runs smooth--when their love is prosperous and confessed.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Political freedom is, or ought...

Political freedom is, or ought to be, the best guaranty for the safety and continuance of spiritual, mental, and civil freedom. It is the combination of numbers to secure the liberty to each one.

What's money without happiness?

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Character is money; and accord...

Character is money; and according as the man earns or spends the money, money in turn becomes character. As money is the most evident power in the world's uses, so the use that he makes of money is often all that the world knows about a man.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Power is so characteristically...

Power is so characteristically calm that calmness in itself has the aspect of power, and forbearance implies strength. The orator who is known to have at his command all the weapons of invective is most formidable when most courteous.
