The love of admiration leads ...

The love of admiration leads to fraud, much more than the love of commendation; but, on the other hand, the latter is much more likely to spoil our: good actions by the substitution of an inferior motive.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

No one complains of the rules...

No one complains of the rules of Grammar as fettering Language; because it is understood that correct use is not founded on Grammar, but Grammar on correct use. A just system of Logic or of Rhetoric is analogous, in this respect, to Grammar.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

The best security against rev...

The best security against revolution is in constant correction of abuses and the introduction of needed improvements. It is the neglect of timely repair that makes rebuilding necessary.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

The heathen mythology not onl...

The heathen mythology not only was not true, but was not even supported as true; it not only deserved no faith, but it demanded none. The very pretension to truth, the very demand of faith, were characteristic distinctions of Christianity.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Anger requires that the offen...

Anger requires that the offender should not only be made to grieve in his turn, but to grieve for that particular wrong which has been done by him.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

A man is called selfish, not f...

A man is called selfish, not for pursuing his own good, but for neglecting the neighbor's.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Of Rhetoric various definition...

Of Rhetoric various definitions have been given by different writers; who, however, seem not so much to have disagreed in their conceptions of the nature of the same thing, as to have had different things in view while they employed the same term.

Manners are one of the greatest engines of influence ever given to man.

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

Richard Whately 148 quotes

If all our wishes were gratifi...

If all our wishes were gratified, most of our pleasures would be destroyed.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

The relief that is afforded to...

The relief that is afforded to mere want, as want, tends to increase that want.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Vices and frailties correct ea...

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

There is no right faith in bel...

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

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Trust, therefore, for the over...

Trust, therefore, for the overcoming of a difficulty, not to long-continued study after you have once become bewildered, but to repeated trials at intervals.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Though not always called upon ...

Though not always called upon to condemn ourselves, it is always safe to suspect ourselves.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Sophistry, like poison, is at ...

Sophistry, like poison, is at once detected and nauseated, when presented to us in a concentrated form; but a fallacy which, when stated barely in a few sentences, would not deceive a child, may deceive half the world, if diluted in a quarto volume.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

It is quite possible, and not ...

It is quite possible, and not uncommon, to read most laboriously, even so as to get by heart the words of a book, without really studying it at all,--that is, without employing the thoughts on the subject.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

The first requisite of style, ...

The first requisite of style, not only in rhetoric, but in all compositions, is perspicuity.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Superstition is not, as has be...

Superstition is not, as has been defined, an excess of religious feeling, but a misdirection of it, an exhausting of it on vanities of man's devising.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

As there are dim-sighted peopl...

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.
