The public seldom forgive twice.

Johann Kaspar Lavater 277 quotes

He knows very little of mankind who expects, by any facts or reasoning, to convince a determined party man.

Johann Kaspar Lavater 277 quotes

He who always seeks more light...

He who always seeks more light the more he finds, and finds more the more he seeks, is one of the few happy mortals who take and give in every point of time. The tide and ebb of giving and receiving is the sum of human happiness, which he alone enjoys who always wishes to acquire new knowledge, and always finds it.

The proverbial wisdom of the populace in the street, on the roads, and in the markets instructs the ear of him who studies man more fully than a thousand rules ostentatiously displayed.

Be not the fourth friend of him who had three before and lost them.

He who, silent, loves to be with us - he who loves us in our silence - has touched one of the keys that ravish hearts.

Johann Kaspar Lavater 277 quotes

Learn the value of a man's words and expressions, and you know him. Each man has a measure of his own for everything; this he offers you inadvertently in his words. He who has a superlative for everything wants a measure for the great or small.

The manner of giving shows the character of the giver, more than the gift itself.

Johann Kaspar Lavater 277 quotes

Who in the same given time can...

Who in the same given time can produce more than others has vigor; who can produce more and better, has talents; who can produce what none else can, has genius.

Thinkers are as scarce as gold.

Many very intelligent agreeable persons have warts on the forehead, not brown, nor very large, between the eyebrows, which have nothing in them offensive or disgusting. - But a large brown wart on the upper lip, especially when it is bristly, will be found in no person who is not defective in something essential, or at least remarkable for some conspicuous failing.

Action, looks, words, steps, f...

Action, looks, words, steps, form the alphabet by which you may spell character.

Johann Kaspar Lavater 277 quotes

He surely is most in need of another's patience, who has none of his own.

Johann Kaspar Lavater 277 quotes

The greatest of characters, no...

The greatest of characters, no doubt, would be he, who, free of all trifling accidental helps, could see objects through one grand immutable medium, always at hand, and proof against illusion and time, reflecting every object in its true shape and colour through all the fluctuation of things.

Johann Kaspar Lavater 277 quotes

He who, when called upon to sp...

He who, when called upon to speak a disagreeable truth, tells it boldly and has done is both bolder and milder than he who nibbles in a low voice and never ceases nibbling.

Johann Kaspar Lavater 277 quotes

True worth is as inevitably di...

True worth is as inevitably discovered by the facial expression, as its opposite is sure to be clearly represented there. The human face is nature's tablet, the truth is certainly written thereon.

Johann Kaspar Lavater 277 quotes

All affectation is the vain and ridiculous attempt of poverty to appear rich

Johann Kaspar Lavater 277 quotes

It is a poor wit who lives by borrowing the words, decisions, mien, inventions and actions of others.
