Man is a being of a mixed nature; and, as there is no integrity without its flaws, so is there no man so knavish but that in some things he may be trusted.

William Godwin 118 quotes

The diligent scholar is he th...

The diligent scholar is he that loves himself, and desires to have reason to applaud and love himself.

William Godwin 118 quotes

It is probable that there is no one thing that it is of eminent importance for a child to learn.

William Godwin 118 quotes

The soul of man is one of tho...

The soul of man is one of those subtle and evanescent substances that, as long as they remain still, the organ of sight does not remark; it must become agitated to become visible.

William Godwin 118 quotes

The cause of justice is the c...

The cause of justice is the cause of humanity. Its advocates should overflow with universal good will. We should love this cause, for it conduces to the general happiness of mankind.

William Godwin 118 quotes

Let us not, in the eagerness of our haste to educate, forget all the ends of education.

William Godwin 118 quotes

Hope is in some respects a th...

Hope is in some respects a thing more brilliant, more vivifying, than fruition. What we have looked forward to with eager and earnest aspiration is never in all respects equal to the picture we had formed of it. The very uncertainty enhances the enjoyment.

William Godwin 118 quotes

In cases where every thing is...

In cases where every thing is understood, and measured, and reduced to rule, love is out of the question.

William Godwin 118 quotes

The great model of the affection of love in human beings is the sentiment which subsists between parents and children.

William Godwin 118 quotes

The love of independence and ...

The love of independence and dislike of unjust treatment is the source of a thousand virtues.

William Godwin 118 quotes

We have, all of us, our duties. Every action of our lives, and every word that we utter, will either conduce to or detract from the discharge of our duty.

William Godwin 118 quotes

England has been called, with...

England has been called, with great felicity of conception, 'the land of liberty and good sense.' We have preserved many of the advantages of a free people, which the nations of the Continent have long since lost.

William Godwin 118 quotes

I believe in this being, not ...

I believe in this being, not because I have any proper or direct knowledge of His existence, but I am at a loss to account for the existence and arrangement of the visible universe, and, being left in the wide sea of conjecture without a clue from analogy or experience, I find the conjecture of a God easy, obvious, and irresistible.

William Godwin 118 quotes

Without imagination, there ca...

Without imagination, there can be no genuine ardor in any pursuit or for any acquisition, and without imagination, there can be no genuine morality, no profound feeling of other men's sorrow, no ardent and persevering anxiety for their interests.

William Godwin 118 quotes

My thoughts will be taken up ...

My thoughts will be taken up with the future or the past, with what is to come or what has been. Of the present there is necessarily no image.

William Godwin 118 quotes

I was brought up in great ten...

I was brought up in great tenderness, and though my mind was proud to independence, I was never led to much independence of feeling.

William Godwin 118 quotes

In the summer of 1791, I gave up my concern in the 'New Annual Register,' the historical part of which I had written for seven years, and abdicated, I hope forever, the task of performing a literary labour, the nature of which should be dictated by anything but the promptings of my own mind.

William Godwin 118 quotes

Perhaps the majority of human...

Perhaps the majority of human beings never think of standing by themselves, and choosing their own employments, till the sentence has been regularly promulgated to them, 'It is time for you to take care of yourself.'

William Godwin 118 quotes

Human creatures, living in th...

Human creatures, living in the circle of their intimates and friends, are too apt to remain in ignorance of the comments and instructions which may be made of what they say and do in the world at large. I entertain a great horror of this ignorance.

William Godwin 118 quotes

The four principal oral instructors to whom I feel my mind indebted for improvement were Joseph Fawcet, Thomas Holcroft, George Dyson, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
