Every wife ought to answer for her man. If the husband be engaged in a seditious club, or drinks mysterious healths, or be frugal of his candles on a rejoicing night, let her look to him and keep him out of harm's way; or the world will be apt to say, she has a mind to be a widow before her time. She ought, in such cases, to exert the authority of the curtain lecture; and if she finds him of a rebellious disposition, to tame him, as they do birds of prey, by dinning him in the ears all night long.

He only is a great man who can neglect the applause of the multitude and enjoy himself independent of its favor.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Good nature will always supply the absence of beauty; but beauty cannot supply the absence of good nature.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Silence is sometimes more sig...

Silence is sometimes more significant and sublime than the most noble and most expressive eloquence, and is on many occasions the indication of a great mind.

E'en the rough rocks with tender myrtle bloom, and trodden weeds send out a rich perfume.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

There is nothing that more be...

There is nothing that more betrays a base ungenerous spirit than the giving of secret stabs to a man's reputation. Lampoons and satires that are written with wit and spirit are like poisoned darts, which not only inflict a wound, but make it incurable.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

The ways of heaven are dark a...

The ways of heaven are dark and intricate, Puzzled in mazes, and perplex'd with errors; Our understanding traces them in vain, Lost and bewilder'd in the fruitless search; Nor sees with how much art the windings run, Nor where the regular confusion ends.

Modesty is not only an orname...

Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue.

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Admiration is a very short-li...

Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Men may change their climate,...

Men may change their climate, but they cannot change their nature. A man that goes out a fool cannot ride or sail himself into common sense.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

The stars shall fade away, th...

The stars shall fade away, the sun himself Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years, But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth, Unhurt amidst the wars of elements, The wrecks of matter, and the crush of worlds.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

The union of the Word and the...

The union of the Word and the Mind produces that mystery which is called Life... Learn deeply of the Mind and its mystery, for therein lies the secret of immortality.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Courage that grows from const...

Courage that grows from constitution often forsakes a man when he has occasion for it; courage which arises from a sense of duty acts; in a uniform manner.

Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Man is subject to innumerable pains and sorrows by the very condition of humanity, and yet, as if nature had not sown evils enough in life, we are continually adding grief to grief and aggravating the common calamity by our cruel treatment of one another.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

A true critic ought to dwell ...

A true critic ought to dwell upon excellencies rather than imperfections, to discover the concealed beauties of a writer, and communicate to the world such things as are worth their observation.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

A just and reasonable modesty...

A just and reasonable modesty does not only recommend eloquence, but sets off every great talent which a man can be possessed of.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul.
