I fall asleep in the full and certain hope That my slumber shall not be broken; And that, though I be all-forgetting, Yet shall I not be all-forgotten, But continue that life in the thoughts and deeds of those I have loved.

Samuel Butler 458 quotes

Neither have they hearts to stay, nor wit enough to run away.

Spare the rod and spoil the child.

All animals, except man, know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it - and they do enjoy it as much as man and other circumstances will allow.

Samuel Butler 458 quotes

Nature. As the word is now com...

Nature. As the word is now commonly used it excludes nature's most interesting productions-the works of man. Nature is usually taken to mean mountains, rivers, clouds and undomesticated animals and plants. I am not indifferent to this half of nature, but it interests me much less than the other half.

Samuel Butler 458 quotes

Autumn is the mellower season,...

Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits.

Sensible people get the greater part of their own dying done during their own lifetime

Brigands will demand your money or your life, but a woman will demand both

I believe that he was really sorry that people would not believe he was sorry that he was not more sorry.

Business should be like religion and science; it should know neither love nor hate.

Samuel Butler 458 quotes

When people talk of atoms obey...

When people talk of atoms obeying fixed laws, they are either ascribing some kind of intelligence and free will to atoms or they are talking nonsense. There is no obedience unless there is at any rate a potentiality of disobeying.

Samuel Butler 458 quotes

It is death, and not what comes after death, that men are generally afraid of.

Samuel Butler 458 quotes

This world is like Noah's Ark....

This world is like Noah's Ark.
In which few men but many beasts embark.

Samuel Butler 458 quotes

Prayers are to men as dolls are to children. They are not without use and comfort, but it is not easy to take them very seriously.

Samuel Butler 458 quotes

Arguments are like fire-arms which a man may keep at home but should not carry about with him.

Samuel Butler 458 quotes

There are two great rules of life; the one general and the other particular. The first is that everyone can, in the end, get what he wants, if he only tries. That is the general rule. The particular rule is that every individual is, more or less, an exception to the rule.

Samuel Butler 458 quotes

Man, unlike the animals, has never learned that the sole purpose of life is to enjoy it.

Samuel Butler 458 quotes

If [science] tends to thicken ...

If [science] tends to thicken the crust of ice on which, as it were, we are skating, it is all right. If it tries to find, or professes to have found, the solid ground at the bottom of the water it is all wrong. Our business is with the thickening of this crust by extending our knowledge downward from above, as ice gets thicker while the frost lasts; we should not try to freeze upwards from the bottom.

Samuel Butler 458 quotes

Men of Science. If they are wo...

Men of Science. If they are worthy of the name they are indeed about God's path and about his bed and spying out all his ways.
