Not only is the world informed...

Not only is the world informed of everything about you, but of a great deal more.

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

How grateful are we--how touch...

How grateful are we--how touched a frank and generous heart is for a kind word extended to us in our pain! The pressure of a tender hand nerves a man for an operation, and cheers him for the dreadful interview with the surgeon.

It's a great comfort to some people to groan over their imaginary ills.

Life without laughing is a dreary blank.

Perhaps there is no greater te...

Perhaps there is no greater test of a man's regularity and easiness of conscience than his readiness to face the postman. Blessed is he who is made happy by the sound of a rat-tat! The good are eager for it; but the naughty tremble at the sound thereof.

Malice is of the boomerang character, and is apt to turn upon the projector.

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

I suppose as long as novels la...

I suppose as long as novels last, and authors aim at interesting their public, there must always be in the story a virtuous and gallant hero; a wicked monster, his opposite; and a pretty girl, who finds a champion. Bravery and virtue conquer beauty; and vice, after seeming to triumph through a certain number of pages, is sure to be discomfited in the last volume, when justice overtakes him, and honest folks come by their own.

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

Out of the fictitious book I g...

Out of the fictitious book I get the expression of the life, of the times, of the manners, of the merriment, of the dress, the pleasure, the laughter, the ridicules of society. The old times live again. Can the heaviest historian do more for me?

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

We pass by common objects or p...

We pass by common objects or persons without noticing them; but the keen eye detects and notes types everywhere and among all classes.

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

Who has not seen how women bully women? What tortures have men to endure compared to those daily repeated shafts of scorn and cruelty with which poor women are riddled by the tyrants of their sex?

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

A snob is that man or woman who is always pretending to be something better--especially richer or more fashionable--than he is.

You can't order remembrance out of the mind; and a wrong that was a wrong yesterday must be a wrong to-morrow.

To be thought rich is as good as to be rich.

I have seen no men in life loving their profession so much as painters, except, perhaps, actors, who, when not engaged themselves, always go to the play.

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

Is beauty beautiful, or is it only our eyes that make it so?

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!

William Makepeace Thackeray 332 quotes

Since the days of Adam, there has been hardly a mischief done in this world but a woman has been at the bottom of it.

A crow, who had flown away with a cheese from a dairy window, sate perched on a tree looking down at a great big frog in a pool underneath him.
