She lived in her past life — ...

She lived in her past life — every letter seemed to recall some circumstance of it. How well she remembered them all! His looks and tones, his dress, what he said and how — these relics and remembrances of dead affection were all that were left her in the world.

Almost all women will give a ...

Almost all women will give a sympathizing hearing to men who are in love. Be they ever so old, they grow young again with that conversation, and renew their own early times.

An intelligent wife can make her home, in spite of exigencies, pretty much what she pleases.

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

As nature made every man with...

As nature made every man with a nose and eyes of his own, she gave him a character of his own, too; and yet we, O foolish race! must try our very best to ape some one or two of our neighbors, whose ideas fit us no more than their breeches!

What will a man not do when f...

What will a man not do when frantic with love? To what baseness will he not demean himself? What pangs will he not make others suffer, so that he may ease his selfish heart?

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

Next to the young, I suppose ...

Next to the young, I suppose the very old are the most selfish. Alas, the heart hardens as the blood ceases to run. The cold snow strikes down from the head, and checks the glow of feeling. Who wants to survive into old age after abdicating all his faculties one by one, and be sans teeth, sans eyes, sans memory, sans hope, sans sympathy?

'No business before breakfast, Glum!' says the King. 'Breakfast first, business next.'

Always to be right, always to...

Always to be right, always to trample forward, and never to doubt, are not these the great qualities with which dullness takes the lead in the world?

Why do they always put mud in...

Why do they always put mud into coffee on board steamers? Why does the tea generally taste of boiled boots?

When one fib becomes due as i...

When one fib becomes due as it were, you must forge another to take up the old acceptance; and so the stock of your lies in circulation inevitably multiplies, and the danger of detection increases every day.

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

We should pay as much reveren...

We should pay as much reverence to youth as we should to age; there are points in which you young folks are altogether our superiors: and I can't help constantly crying out to persons of my own years, when busied about their young people--leave them alone; don't be always meddling with their affairs, which they can manage for themselves; don't be always insisting upon managing their boats, and putting your oars in the water with theirs.

Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

It is impossible, in our condition of Society, not to be sometimes a Snob.

What money is better bestowed ...

What money is better bestowed than that of a schoolboy's tip? How the kindness is recalled by the recipient in after days! It blesses him that gives and him that takes.

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

If a secret history of books could be written, and the author's private thoughts and meanings noted down alongside of his story, how many insipid volumes would become interesting, and dull tales excite the reader!

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

It is only hope which is real,...

It is only hope which is real, and reality is a bitterness and a deceit.

It is all very well for you, who have probably never seen any spiritual manifestations, to talk as you do; but if you had seen what I have witnessed you would hold a different opinion.
