If the prodigal quits life in debt to others, the miser quits it still deeper in debt to himself (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
Pedantry crams our heads with learned lumber and takes out our brains to make room for it (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
We are not more ingenious in searching out bad motives for good actions when performed by others, than good motives for bad actions when performed by ourselves (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
Riches may enable us to confer favors, but to confer them with propriety and grace requires a something that riches cannot give (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
Whenever we find ourselves more inclined to persecute than to persuade, we may then be certain that our zeal has more of pride in it than of charity (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
Genius in one grand particular is like life. We know nothing of either but by their effects (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
Wars of opinion, as they have been the most destructive, are also the most disgraceful of conflicts (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
If we trace the history of most revolutions, we shall find that the first inroads upon the laws have been made by the governors, as often as by the governed (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
Physicians must discover the weaknesses of the human mind, and even condescend to humor them, or they will never be called in to cure the infirmities of the body (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
Those who bequeath unto themselves a pompous funeral, are at just so much expense to inform the world of something that had much better be concealed; namely, that their vanity has survived themselves (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
Injuries accompanied with insults are never forgiven: all men, on these occasions, are good haters, and lay out their revenge at compound interest (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
Theory is worth but little, unless it can explain its own phenomena, and it must effect this without contradicting itself; therefore, the facts are sometimes assimilated to the theory, rather than the theory to the facts (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
The avarice of the miser may be termed the grand sepulchral of all his other passions, as they successively decay (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
No disorders have employed so many quacks, as those that have no cure; and no sciences have exercised so many quills, as those that have no certainty (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
The acquirements of science may be termed the armour of the mind; but that armour would be worse than useless, that cost us all we had, and left us nothing to defend (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
It is not so difficult a task as to plant new truths, as to root out old errors (Charles Caleb Colton Quotes)
