I Have often thought if the minds of men were laid open, we should see but little difference between that of the wise man and that of the fool. There are infinite reveries, numberless extravagances, and a perpetual train of vanities which pass through both. The great difference is, that the first knows how to pick and cull his thoughts for conversation, by suppressing some, and communicating others; whereas the other lets them all indifferently fly out in words.

A man must be both stupid and uncharitable who believes there is no virtue or truth but on his own side.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

The most violent appetites in...

The most violent appetites in all creatures are lust and hunger; the first is a perpetual call upon them to propagate their kind, the latter to preserve themselves.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

The unjustifiable severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures are always in his sight.

The important question is not, what will yield to man a few scattered pleasures, but what will render his life happy on the whole amount.
