Sayfa 75 - To have the sense of virtue, is nothing but to feel a satisfaction of a particular kind from the contemplation of a character.
Sayfa 133 - ... ungrateful return ; but the absence of gratitude on the part of the receiver cannot destroy the self-approbation which recompenses the giver: and we may scatter the seeds of courtesy and kindness around us at so little expense ! Some of them will inevitably fall on good ground, and grow up into benevolence in the minds of others; and all of them will bear fruit of happiness in the bosom whence they spring.
Sayfa 135 - Dream not that men will move their little finger to serve you, unless their advantage in so doing be obvious to them. Men never did so, and never will while human nature is made of its present materials.
Sayfa 56 - why our existence has so much less of happiness crowded into it than is accessible to us, is that we neglect to gather up those minute particles of pleasure which every moment offers to our acceptance. In striving after a sum total, we forget the ciphers of which it is composed ; struggling against inevitable results, which he...
Sayfa 251 - The period will assuredly arrive, when better instructed generations will require all the evidence of history to credit, that, in times deeming themselves enlightened, human beings should have been honoured with public approval, in the very proportion of the misery they caused, and the mischiefs they perpetrated.

Sayfa 132 - Good and friendly conduct may meet with an unworthy and ungrateful return; but the absence of gratitude on the part of the receiver cannot destroy the self-approbation which recompenses the giver, and we may scatter the seeds of courtesy and kindliness around us at so little expense.
Sayfa 249 - State, the ruling few, the subject man, all seem in this case to have combined to patronize vice and crime in their widest sphere of evil. Dress a man in particular garments, call him by a particular name, and he shall have authority, on divers occasions, to commit every species of offence — to pillage, to murder, to destroy human...
Sayfa 212 - ... other persons present. He might lose much if they were found discordant. Even without culpable intention, much damage might be done, and the damage might be irreparable. The very question has more of intolerance in it than even of curiosity. Let, then, intolerance be checked in every shape, — the expression of impatience, contempt, or ill-will, when you are unable to convince another, however cogent and irresistible your arguments may appear to yourself. No man can believe just what he likes...
Sayfa 250 - Of all that is pernicious in admiration, the admiration of heroes is the most pernicious; and how delusions should have made us admire what virtue should teach us to hate and loathe, is among the saddest evidences of human weakness and folly. The crimes of heroes seem lost in the vastness of the field they occupy. A lively idea of the mischief they do, of the misery they create, seldom penetrates the mind through the delusions with which thoughtlessness and falsehood have surrounded their names and...
