When a man is in love with one woman in a family, it is astonishing how fond he becomes of every person connected with it.

Novels are sweets. All people with healthy literary appetites love them-almost all women; a vast number of clever, hardheaded men.

At certain periods of life, we live years of emotion in a few weeks, and look back on those times as on great gaps between the old life and the new.

Vanity Fair is a very vain, wicked, foolish place, full of all sorts of humbugs and falsenesses and pretensions.

Though small was your allowance,
You saved a little store:
And those who save a little,
Shall get a plenty more.

Dare and the world always yields; or if it beats you sometimes, dare it again and it will succumb.

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

We can't all be lions in this ...

We can't all be lions in this world. There must be some lambs, harmless, kindly, gregarious creatures for eating and shearing.

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

Certain it is that scandal is ...

Certain it is that scandal is good brisk talk, whereas praise of one's neighbor is by no means lively hearing. An acquaintance grilled, scored, devilled, and served with mustard and cayenne pepper excites the appetite; whereas a slice of cold friend with currant jelly is but a sickly, unrelishing meat.

To be beautiful is enough! if ...

To be beautiful is enough! if a woman can do that well who should demand more from her? You don't want a rose to sing.

If success is rare and slow, everybody knows how quick and easy ruin is.

Oh, those women! They nurse and cuddle their presentiments, and make darlings of their ugliest thoughts.

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

Tis misfortune that awakens ingenuity, or fortitude, or endurance, in hearts where these qualities had never come to life but for the circumstance which gave them a being.

What a charming reconciler and peacemaker money is!

Never marry with the expectation of changing a person.

The moral world has no particular objection to vice, but an insuperable repugnance to hearing vice called by its proper name.

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

Cheerfulness means a contented...

Cheerfulness means a contented spirit, a pure heart, a kind and loving disposition; it means humility and ~ charity, a generous appreciation of others, and a modest opinion of self.

I knew all along that the prize I had set my life on was not worth the winning.

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

If, in looking at the lives of...

If, in looking at the lives of princes, courtiers, men of rank and fashion, we must perforce depict them as idle, profligate, and criminal, we must make allowances for the rich men's failings, and recollect that we, too, were very likely indolent and voluptuous, had we no motive for work, a mortal's natural taste for pleasure, and the daily temptation of a large income. What could a great peer, with a great castle and park, and a great fortune, do but be splendid and idle?

There is a skeleton in every house.
