My death and life, My bane and...

My death and life, My bane and antidote, are both before me.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Let echo, too, perform her par...

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

There is no talent so pernicio...

There is no talent so pernicious as eloquence to those who have it under command.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Eternity! thou pleasing dreadf...

Eternity! thou pleasing dreadful thought! Through what variety of untried being, Through what new scenes and changes must we pass!

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Were not this desire of fame v...

Were not this desire of fame very strong, the difficulty of obtaining it, and the danger of losing it when obtained, would be sufficient to deter a man from so vain a pursuit.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

An idol may be undeified by ma...

An idol may be undeified by many accidental causes. Marriage, in particular, is a kind of counter apotheosis, as a deification inverted. When a man becomes familiar with his goddess she quickly sinks into a woman.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

The sense of honour is of so f...

The sense of honour is of so fine and delicate a nature, that it is only to be met with in minds which are naturally noble, or in such as have been cultivated by good examples, or a refined education.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Hypocrisy itself does great ho...

Hypocrisy itself does great honor, or rather justice, to religion, and tacitly acknowledges it to be an ornament to human nature. The hypocrite would not be at so much pains to put on the appearance of virtue, if he did not know it was the most proper and effectual means to gain the love and esteem of mankind.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

There is no virtue so truly gr...

There is no virtue so truly great and godlike as justice.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Knavery is ever suspicious of knavery.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

God discovers the martyr and confessor without the trial of flames and tortures, and will hereafter entitle many to the reward of actions which they had never the opportunity of performing.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Music religious heat inspires,...

Music religious heat inspires, It wakes the soul, and lifts it high, And wings it with sublime desires, And fits it to bespeak the Deity.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

There are greater depths and o...

There are greater depths and obscurities, greater intricacies and perplexities, in an elaborate and well-written piece of nonsense, than in the most abstruse and profound tract of school divinity.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Novelty serves us for a kind o...

Novelty serves us for a kind of refreshment, and takes off from that satiety we are apt to complain of in our usual and ordinary entertainments.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

How is it possible for those w...

How is it possible for those who are men of honor in their persons, thus to become notorious liars in their party

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

This party spirit has so ill a...

This party spirit has so ill an effect on our morals, it has likewise a very great one upon our judgments.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

In that disputable point of pe...

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

Yet then from all my grief, O ...

Yet then from all my grief, O Lord, Thy mercy set me free, Whilst in the confidence of pray'r My soul took hold on thee.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

O ye powers that search The he...

O ye powers that search The heart of man, and weigh his inmost thoughts, If I have done amiss, impute it not! The best may err, but you are good.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

A satire should expose nothing but what is corrigible, and should make a due discrimination between those that are and those that are not the proper objects of it.
