» More quotes about: Anger

An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry.

» More quotes about: Argument

There is a natural aristocracy among men. The grounds of this are virtue and talents.

» More quotes about: Aristocracy

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

» More quotes about: Attitude

I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.

» More quotes about: Bankers

Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.

» More quotes about: Bankers

The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.

» More quotes about: Economy

Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.

» More quotes about: Equality

The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.

» More quotes about: Family

In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set one of these fiery zealots to rights, either in fact or principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on which they will act. Get by

» More quotes about: Fanatics

We seldom report of having eaten too little.

» More quotes about: Food

The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object.

» More quotes about: Freedom

Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another?

» More quotes about: Friendship

But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine.

» More quotes about: Friendship

To myself, personally, it brings nothing but increasing drudgery and daily loss of friends.

» More quotes about: Friendship

We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country.

» More quotes about: Generations

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

» More quotes about: Government

The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government.

» More quotes about: Government

I have no ambition to govern men. It is a painful and thankless office

» More quotes about: Government

Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.

» More quotes about: Government

No man will ever bring out of the Presidency the reputation which carries him into it.

» More quotes about: Government

That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.

» More quotes about: Government

Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor.

» More quotes about: Greed

Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind.

» More quotes about: Happiness

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.

» More quotes about: Happiness

A mind always employed is always happy. This is the true secret, the grand recipe, for felicity.

» More quotes about: Happiness

The sovereign invigorator of the body is exercise, and of all the exercises walking is the best.

» More quotes about: Health

Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom.

» More quotes about: Honesty

Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong.

» More quotes about: Ignorance

Take not from the mouth of labor the bread it as earned.

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.

» More quotes about: Freedom

The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave.

» More quotes about: Freedom

Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.

» More quotes about: Freedom

The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.

» More quotes about: Freedom

The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.

» More quotes about: Freedom

It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.

» More quotes about: Freedom

He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time till at length it becomes habitual.

» More quotes about: Lies

Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.

» More quotes about: Life

Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.

» More quotes about: Literature

I cannot live without books.

» More quotes about: Literature

In truth, politeness is artificial good humor, it covers the natural want of it, and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue.

» More quotes about: Manners | Politeness

I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely happier for it.

» More quotes about: Media

» More quotes about: Money

Whenever you are to do a thing, though it can never be known but to yourself, ask yourself how you would act were all the world looking at you, and act accordingly.

» More quotes about: Morality

Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.

» More quotes about: Opinions

To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

» More quotes about: Opinions

The art of life is the art of avoiding pain; and he is the best pilot, who steers clearest of the rocks and shoals with which it is beset.

» More quotes about: Pain

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

While wading through the whimsies, the puerilities, and unintelligible jargon of this work [Plato's Republic], I laid it down often to ask myself how it could have been that the world should have so long consented to give reputation to such nonsense as th

Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it.
