The more secure we feel agains...

The more secure we feel against our liability to any error to which, in fact, we are liable, the greater must be our danger of falling into it.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Nothing but the right can ever...

Nothing but the right can ever be expedient, since that can never be true expediency which would sacrifice a great good to a less.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

A certain class of novels may ...

A certain class of novels may with propriety be called fables.

As the flower is before the fr...

As the flower is before the fruit, so is faith before good works.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Falsehood is difficult to be m...

Falsehood is difficult to be maintained. When the materials of a building are solid blocks of stone, very rude architecture will suffice; but a structure of rotten materials needs the most careful adjustment to make it stand at all.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Falsehood, like poison, will g...

Falsehood, like poison, will generally be rejected when administered alone; but when blended with wholesome ingredients may be swallowed unperceived.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Falsehood, like the dry-rot, f...

Falsehood, like the dry-rot, flourishes the more in proportion as air and light are excluded.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Fancy, when once brought into ...

Fancy, when once brought into religion, knows not where to stop. It is like one of those fiends in old stories which any one could raise, but which, when raised, could never be kept within the magic circle.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Those who relish the study of ...

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

All gaming, since it implies a...

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

Richard Whately 148 quotes

It is also important to guard ...

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

Geologists complain that when ...

Geologists complain that when they want specimens of the common rocks of a country, they receive curious spars; just so, historians give us the extraordinary events and omit just what we want,--the every-day life of each particular time and country.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

The depreciation of Christiani...

The depreciation of Christianity by indifference is a more insidious and less curable evil than infidelity itself.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

An instinct is a blind tendenc...

An instinct is a blind tendency to some mode of action, independent of any consideration, on the part of the agent, of the end to which the action leads.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

As an exercise of the reasonin...

As an exercise of the reasoning faculties, pure mathematics is an admirable exercise, because it consists of reasoning alone and does not encumber the student with any exercise of judgment.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Of metaphors, those generally ...

Of metaphors, those generally conduce most to energy or vivacity of style which illustrate an intellectual by a sensible object.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

The attendant on William Rufus...

The attendant on William Rufus, who discharged at a deer an arrow, which glanced against a tree and killed the king, was no murderer, because he had no such design. And, on the other hand, a man who should lie in wait to assassinate another, and pull the trigger of a gun with that intent, would be morally a murderer, not the less though the gun should chance to miss fire.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

The heathen mythology not only...

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

It is worth noticing that thos...

It is worth noticing that those who assume an imposing demeanor and seek to pass themselves off for something beyond what they are, are not unfrequently as much underrated by some as overrated by others.

Richard Whately 148 quotes

Reason can no more influence t...

Reason can no more influence the will, and operate as a motive, than the eyes which show a man his road can enable him to move from place to place, or that a ship provided with a compass can sail without a wind.
