Oh! think what anxious moment...

Oh! think what anxious moments pass between The birth of plots, and their last fatal periods, Oh! 'tis a dreadful interval of time, Filled up with horror all, and big with death!

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

In my Lucia's absence Life ha...

In my Lucia's absence Life hangs upon me, and becomes a burden; I am ten times undone, while hope, and fear, And grief, and rage and love rise up at once, And with variety of pain distract me.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

The moderns cannot reach thei...

The moderns cannot reach their beauties, but can avoid their imperfections.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

I never knew a critic who mad...

I never knew a critic who made it his business to lash the faults of other writers that was not guilty of greater himself--as the hangman is generally a worse malefactor than the criminal that suffers by his hand.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Cunning has only private self...

Cunning has only private selfish aims, and sticks at nothing which may make them succeed. Discretion has large and extended views, and, like a well-formed eye, commands a whole horizon; cunning is a kind of shortsightedness, that discovers the minutest objects which are near at hand, but is not able to discern things at a distance.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

In that disputable point of p...

In that disputable point of persecuting men for conscience sake, I see such dreadful consequences rising, I would be as fully convinced of the truth of it, as a mathematical demonstration, before I would venture to act upon it or make it a part of my religion.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

The circumstance which gives ...

The circumstance which gives authors an advantage above all these great masters, is this, that they can multiply their originals; or rather, can make copies of their works, to what number they please, which shall be as valuable as the originals themselves.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Unbounded courage and compass...

Unbounded courage and compassion join'd, Tempering each other in the victor's mind, Alternately proclaim him good and great, And make the hero and the man complete.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Our sight is the most perfect...

Our sight is the most perfect and most delightful of all our senses.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

We make provisions for this life as if it were never to have an end, and for the other life as though it were never to have a beginning.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

There is not, in my opinion, ...

There is not, in my opinion, anything more mysterious in nature than this instinct in animals, which thus rise above reason, and yet fall infinitely short of it.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Let echo, too, perform her pa...

Let echo, too, perform her part, Prolonging every note with art; And in a low expiring strain, Play all the comfort o'er again.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

I have often reflected within...

I have often reflected within myself on this unaccountable humor in womankind of being smitten with everything that is showy and superficial, and on the numberless evils that befall the sex from this light fantastical disposition.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

There is no greater sign of a...

There is no greater sign of a general decay of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in its inhabitants for the good of their country.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

I believe that everyone, some...

I believe that everyone, some time or other, dreams that he is reading papers, books, or letters; in which case the invention prompts so readily that the mind is imposed upon, and mistakes its own suggestions for the composition of another.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Men who cherish for women the...

Men who cherish for women the highest respect are seldom popular with them.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Method is not less requisite ...

Method is not less requisite in ordinary conversation than in writing, provided a man would talk to make himself understood.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Virtue which shuns, the day. ...

Virtue which shuns, the day.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

There is not a more pleasante exercise of the mind than gratitude.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

There is sometimes a greater ...

There is sometimes a greater judgement shewn in deviating from the rules of art, than in adhering to them; and?there ismore beauty inthe works of a great genius who is ignorant of all the rules of art, than in the works of a little genius, who not only knows but scrupulously observes them.
