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

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

The great model of the affect...

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

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

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

Let us not, in the eagerness ...

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

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

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

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

William Godwin 118 quotes

Religion is the most importan...

Religion is the most important of all things: the great point of discrimination that divides the man from the brute. It is our special prerogative that we can converse with that which we cannot see and believe in that the existence of which is reported to us by none of our senses.

William Godwin 118 quotes

Woe to the man who is always ...

Woe to the man who is always busy - hurried in a turmoil of engagements, from occupation to occupation, and with no seasons interposed of recollection, contemplation and repose! Such a man must inevitably be gross and vulgar, and hard and indelicate - the sort of man with whom no generous spirit would desire to hold intercourse.

William Godwin 118 quotes

Self-deception is so far from...

Self-deception is so far from impossible that it is one of the most ordinary phenomena with which we are acquainted. Nothing is more usual than for a man to impute his actions to honorable motives when it is nearly demonstrable that they flowed from some corrupt and contemptible force.

William Godwin 118 quotes

The execution of any thing co...

The execution of any thing considerable implies in the first place previous persevering meditation.

William Godwin 118 quotes

Invisible things are the only...

Invisible things are the only realities; invisible things alone are the things that shall remain.

William Godwin 118 quotes

Man is the only creature we k...

Man is the only creature we know, that, when the term of his natural life is ended, leaves the memory of himself behind him.

William Godwin 118 quotes

Government was intended to su...

Government was intended to suppress injustice, but its effect has been to embody and perpetuate it.

William Godwin 118 quotes

During my academical life, an...

During my academical life, and from this time forward, I was indefatigable in my search after truth. I read all the authors of greatest repute, for and against the Trinity, original sin, and the most disputed doctrines, but I was not yet of an understanding sufficiently ripe for impartial decision, and all my inquiries terminated in Calvinism.

William Godwin 118 quotes

It is necessary for him who w...

It is necessary for him who would endure existence with patience that he should conceive himself to be something - that he should be persuaded he is not a cipher in the muster-roll of man.

William Godwin 118 quotes

Above all we should not forge...

Above all we should not forget that government is an evil, a usurpation upon the private judgement and individual conscience of mankind.
