Woman is like the reed which bends to every breeze, but breaks not in the tempest.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

The censure of frequent and l...

The censure of frequent and long parentheses has led writers into the preposterous expedient of leaving out the marks by which they are indicated. It is no cure to a lame man to take away his crutches.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

As a science, logic institutes an analysis of the process of the mind in reasoning, and investigating the principles on which argumentation is conducted; as an art, it furnishes such rules as may be derived from those principles, for guarding against erroneous deductions.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Some persons follow the dictates of their conscience only in the same sense in which a coachman may be said to follow the horses he is driving.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Some men's reputation seems l...

Some men's reputation seems like seed-wheat, which thrives best when brought from a distance.

Better too much form than too little.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Man, considered not merely as...

Man, considered not merely as an organized being, but as a rational agent and a member of society, is perhaps the most wonderfully contrived, and to us the most interesting specimen of Divine wisdom that we have any knowledge of.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Man is naturally more desirous of a quiet and approving, than of a vigilant and tender conscience--more desirous of security than of safety.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Concerning the utility of Rhe...

Concerning the utility of Rhetoric, it is to be observed that it divides itself into two; first, whether Oratorical skill be, on the whole, a public benefit, or evil; and secondly, whether any artificial system of Rules is conducive to the attainment of that skill.

Those who relish the study of character may profit by the reading of good works of fiction, the product of well-established authors.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

It is also important to guard against mistaking for good-nature what is properly good-humor,--a cheerful flow of spirits and easy temper not readily annoyed, which is compatible with great selfishness.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Eloquence is relative. One ca...

Eloquence is relative. One can no more pronounce on the eloquence of any composition than the wholesomeness of a medicine, without knowing for whom it is intended.

Party spirit enlists a man's virtues in the cause of his vices.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

As there are dim-sighted peop...

As there are dim-sighted people who live in a sort of perpetual twilight, so there are some who, having neither much clearness of head nor a very elevated tone of morality, are perpetually haunted by suspicions of everybody and everything.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

It is an awful, an appalling thought, that we may be, this moment and every moment, in the presence of malignant spirits.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Great affectation and great a...

Great affectation and great absence of it are at first sight very similar.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

There is no right faith in believing what is true, unless we believe it because it is true.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

The word of knowledge, strict...

The word of knowledge, strictly employed, implies three things: truth, proof, and conviction.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Vices and frailties correct each other, like acids and alkalies. If each vicious man had but one vice, I do not know how the world could go on.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

All gaming, since it implies a desire to profit at the expense of another, involves a breach of the tenth commandment.
