The circle of life is cut up into segments. All lines are equal if they are drawn from the centre and touch the circumference.

Beautiful eyes in the face of a handsome woman are like eloquence to speech.

Tell me, sweet eyes, from what divinest star did ye drink in your liquid melancholy?

A man who cannot win fame in b...

A man who cannot win fame in big own age will have a very small chance of winning it from posterity. True, there are some half-dozen exceptions to this truth among millions of myriads that attest it; but what man of common sense would invest any large amount of hope in so unpromising a lottery?

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Better than fame is still the ...

Better than fame is still the wish for fame, the constant training for a glorious strife.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Fame confers a rank above that...

Fame confers a rank above that of gentleman and of kings. As soon as she issues her patent of nobility, it matters not a straw whether the recipient be the son of a Bourbon or of a tallow-chandler.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Happy indeed the poet of whom,...

Happy indeed the poet of whom, like Orpheus, nothing is known but an immortal name! Happy next, perhaps, the poet of whom, like Homer, nothing is known but the immortal works. The more the merely human part of the poet remains a mystery, the more willing is the reverence given to his divine mission.

Fate whirls on the bark, and the rough gale sweeps from the rising tide the lazy calm of thought.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Art is the effort of man to express the ideas which nature suggests to him of a power above nature, whether that power be within the recesses of his own being, or in the Great First Cause of which nature, like himself, is but the effect.

The fewer blows, the better. Brave men fight if they must; wise men never fight if they can help it.

Patience is a good palfrey, and will carry us a long day.

The brave man wants no charms ...

The brave man wants no charms to encourage him to his duty, and the good man scorns all warnings that would deter him from fulfilling it.

There are times when the mirth of others only saddens us, especially the mirth of children with high spirits, that jar on our own quiet mood.

We are not such fools as to pay for reading inferior books, when we can read superior books for nothing.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

The man who succeeds above his...

The man who succeeds above his fellows is the one who early in life, clearly discerns his object, and towards that object habitually directs his powers. Even genius itself is but fine observation strengthened by fixity of purpose. Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius.

Revolutions are not made with rosewater.

A reform is a correction of abuses; a revolution is a transfer of power.

In belief lies the secret of all valuable exertion.

But never yet the dog our country fed, Betrayed the kindness or forgot the bread.
