The emptiness and folly of ret...

The emptiness and folly of retaliation are apparent from every example which can be brought forward. Not only Jesus Christ, but the most eminent professors of every sect of philosophy, have reasoned against this futile superstition.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

The nature of a narrow and mal...

The nature of a narrow and malevolent spirit is so essentially incompatible with happiness as to render it inaccessible to the influences of the benignant God.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

The practice of utter sincerit...

The practice of utter sincerity towards other men would avail to no good end, if they were incapable of practising it towards their own minds. In fact, truth cannot be communicated until it is perceived.

The rich have become richer, a...

The rich have become richer, and the poor have become poorer; and the vessel of the state is driven between the Scylla and Charybdis of anarchy and despotism.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

The thoughts which the word '...

The thoughts which the word 'God' suggests to the human mind are susceptible of as many variations as human minds themselves.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

This is Heaven, when pain and ...

This is Heaven, when pain and evil cease, and when the Benignant Principle, untrammelled and uncontrolled, visits in the fulness of its power the universal frame of things.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

We live and move and think; bu...

We live and move and think; but we are not the creators of our own origin and existence. We are not the arbiters of every motion of our own complicated nature; we are not the masters of our own imaginations and moods of mental being.

Many a green isle needs must be In the deep wide sea of Misery, Or the mariner, worn and wan, Never thus could voyage on.

Can man be free if woman be a slave?

Men must reap the things they sow, Force from force must ever flow.

Sometimes The Devil is a gentleman.

Dust to the dust! but the pure spirit shall flow Back to the burning fountain whence it came, A portion of the Eternal.

It is a modest creed, and yet Pleasant if one considers it, To own that death itself must be, Like all the rest, a mockery.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

If certain Critics were as clearsighted as they are malignant, how great would be the benefit to be derived from their writings!

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

It were as wise to cast a viol...

It were as wise to cast a violet into a crucible that you might discover the formal principle of its color and odor, as seek to transfuse from one language into another the creations of a poet. The plant must spring again from its seed, or it will bear no flower -- and this is the burthen of the curse of Babel.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

To hearts which near each othe...

To hearts which near each other move From evening close to morning light,The night is good; because, my love,They never say good-night.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Constancy has nothing virtuous...

Constancy has nothing virtuous in itself, independently of the pleasure it confers, and partakes of the temporizing spirit of vice in proportion as it endures tamely moral defects of magnitude in the object of its indiscreet choice.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

To be omnipotent but friendles...

To be omnipotent but friendless is to reign.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Narrow The heart that loves, t...

Narrow The heart that loves, the brain that contemplates, The life that wears, the spirit that creates One object, and one form, and builds thereby A sepulchre for its eternity.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Rulers, who neither see, nor feel, nor know, but leech-like to their fainting country cling, till they drop, blind in blood, without a blow, -- a people starved and stabbed in the untilled field...
