An evil intention perverts the best actions, and makes them sins.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

I Have often thought if the m...

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.

Rides in the whirlwind and directs the storm.

Courage is the thing. All goes if courage goes.

Nature seems to have taken a particular care to disseminate her blessings among the different regions of the world, with an eye to their mutual intercourse and traffic among mankind, that the nations of the several parts of the globe might have a kind of dependence upon one another and be united together by their common interest.

It is ridiculous for any man to criticize on the works of another, who has not distinguished himself by his own performances.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

When all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view I'm lost, in wonder, love and praise.

There is nothing which strengthens faith more than the observance of morality.

Misery and ignorance are always the cause of great evils. Misery is easily excited to anger, and ignorance soon yields to perfidious counsels.

On you, my lord, with anxious fear I wait, and from your judgment must expect my fate.

A solid and substantial greatness of soul looks down with neglect on the censures and applauses of the multitude.

Nothing that isn't a real crime makes a man appear so contemptible and little in the eyes of the world as inconsistency.

All well-regulated families set apart an hour every morning for tea and bread and butter

Love, anger, pride and avarice all visibly move in those little orbs.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition, but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.

I am wonderfully pleased when I meet with any passage in an old Greek or Latin author, that is not blown upon, and which I have never met with in any quotation.

Temperance gives nature her full play, and enables her to exert herself in all her force and vigor.

Joseph Addison 715 quotes

The voice of reason is more to be regarded than the bent of any present inclination; since inclination will at length come over to reason, though we can never force reason to comply with inclination.

Nature does nothing without purpose or uselessly.
