Samuel Butler Quotes
«Man is God's highest present development. He is the latest thing in God.»
Author: Samuel Butler
«For most men, and most circumstances, pleasure /tangible material prosperity in this world /is the safest test of virtue. Progress has ever been through the pleasures rather than through the extreme sharp virtues, and the most virtuous have leaned to excess rather than to asceticism.»
«A man's friendships are, like his will, invalidated by marriage - but they are also no less invalidated by the marriage of his friends.»
«There is nothing so unthinkable as thought, unless it be the entire absence of thought.»
Author: Samuel Butler
«Rare virtues are like rare plants or animals, things that have not been able to hold their own in the world. A virtue to be serviceable must, like gold, be alloyed with some commoner but more durable metal.»
«For Wealth are all things that conduce, to one's destruction or their use. A standard both to buy and sell, all things from heaven down to hell.»
«Stowed away in a Montreal lumber room / The Discobolus standeth and turneth his face to the wall; / Dusty, cobweb-covered, maimed and set at naught, / Beauty crieth in an attic and no man regardeth: / O God! O Montreal!»
«A genius can never expect to have a good time anywhere, if he is a genuine article, but America is about the last place in which life will be endurable at all for an inspired writer of any kind.»
«All philosophies, if you ride them home, are nonsense, but some are greater nonsense than others.»
Author: Samuel Butler
