Popular quotes, proverbs and sayings by Nationality

A wicked fellow is the most pious when he takes to it. He'll beat you all at piety.
» More quotes from: Samuel Butler about: Piety
FacebookTwitter
If a madman were to come into this room with a stick in his hand, no doubt we should pity the state of his mind; but our primary consideration would be to take care of ourselves. We should knock him down first, and pity him afterwards.
» More quotes from: Samuel Butler about: Pity
FacebookTwitter
Pleasure is very seldom found where it is sought. Our brightest blazes are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks.
» More quotes from: Samuel Butler about: Pleasure
FacebookTwitter
If pleasure was not followed by pain, who would forbear it?
» More quotes from: Samuel Butler about: Pleasure
FacebookTwitter
Politics are now nothing more than means of rising in the world. With this sole view do men engage in politics, and their whole conduct proceeds upon it.
» More quotes from: Samuel Butler about: Politics
FacebookTwitter
Nature makes us poor only when we want necessaries, but custom gives the name of poverty to the want of superfluities.
» More quotes from: Samuel Butler about: Poverty
FacebookTwitter
It is the great privilege of poverty to be happy and yet unenvied, to be healthy with physic, secure without a guard, and to obtain from the bounty of nature what the great and wealthy are compelled to procure by the help of art.
» More quotes from: Samuel Butler about: Poverty
FacebookTwitter
This mournful truth is everywhere confessed, slow rises worth by poverty depressed.
» More quotes from: Samuel Butler about: Poverty
FacebookTwitter
Prejudice not being funded on reason cannot be removed by argument.
» More quotes from: Samuel Butler about: Prejudice
FacebookTwitter
Pride is seldom delicate; it will please itself with very mean advantages.
» More quotes from: Samuel Butler about: Pride
FacebookTwitter
Prudence is an attitude that keeps life safe, but does not often make it happy.
» More quotes from: Samuel Butler about: Prudence
FacebookTwitter
Prudence operates on life in the same manner as rule of composition; it produces vigilance rather than elevation; rather prevents loss than procures advantage; and often miscarriages, but seldom reaches either power or honor.
