Text Quotes
One remarkable fact stands out in the history of witchcraft; and that is, its victims were chiefly women. Scarce one wizard to a hundred witches was ever burned or tortured  (Chiefly Quotes) Old age is a disease from which there is no recovery but the old nun’s recent attack had certainly been brought on chiefly by the fatigue of so much travelling  (Chiefly Quotes) It is chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with superior minds. In the best books, great men talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours  (Chiefly Quotes) All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly of the soul  (Chiefly Quotes) Nobody with open eyes can any longer doubt that the danger to personal freedom comes chiefly from the left  (Chiefly Quotes) There are men who desire power simply for the sake of the happiness it will bring; these belong chiefly to political parties  (Chiefly Quotes) The two qualities which chiefly inspire regard and affection are that a thing is your own and that it is your only one  (Chiefly Quotes) All great masters are chiefly distinguished by the power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a fourth step in a continuous line. Many a man has taken the first step. With every additional step you enhance immensely the value of your first  (Chiefly Quotes) It is not from nature, but from education and habits, that our wants are chiefly derived  (Chiefly Quotes) With civilized men..., it is, I think, chiefly love of excitement which makes the populace applaud when war breaks out; the emotion is exactly the same as at a football match, although the results are sometimes somewhat more serious  (Chiefly Quotes) I fear chiefly lest my expression may not be extravagant enough, may not wander far enough beyond the narrow limit of my daily experience, so as to be adequate to the truth of which I have been convinced  (Chiefly Quotes) The difficult task of knowing another soul is not for young gentlemen whose consciousness is chiefly made up of their own wishes  (Chiefly Quotes) No one could have fathomed what a life he’d led, for it was chiefly a life lived in his mind  (Chiefly Quotes) The happiness which we receive from ourselves is greater than that which we obtain from our surroundings... The world in which a person lives shapes itself chiefly by the way in which he or she looks at it  (Chiefly Quotes) A life directed chiefly toward the fulfillment of personal desires will sooner or later always lead to bitter disappointment  (Chiefly Quotes) Continuity of purpose is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness in the long run, and for most men that comes chiefly through their work  (Chiefly Quotes) Persons of genius, and those who are most capable of art, are always most fond of nature: as such are chiefly sensible, that all art consists in the imitation and study of nature  (Chiefly Quotes) The reformative effect of punishment is a belief that dies hard, chiefly I think, because it is so satisfying to our sadistic impulses  (Chiefly Quotes) I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man, public as well as private. This is my teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, I am a mischievous person  (Chiefly Quotes) That which is common to the greatest number has the least care bestowed upon it. Every one thinks chiefly of his own, hardly at all of the common interest; and only when he is himself concerned as an individual. For besides other considerations, everybody is more inclined to neglect the duty which he expects another to fulfill  (Chiefly Quotes) The way to wealth is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality: that is, waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both. Without industry and frugality nothing will do, and with them everything  (Chiefly Quotes) When two minds of a high order, interested in kindred subjects, come together, their conversation is chiefly remarkable for the summariness of its allusions and the rapidity of its transitions. Before one of them is half through a sentence the other knows his meaning and replies... His mental lungs breathe more deeply, in an atmosphere more broad and vast  (Chiefly Quotes) It forms a strong presumption against all supernatural and miraculous relations, that they are observed chiefly to abound among ignorant and barbarous nations; or if a civilized people has ever given admission to any of them, that people will be found to have received them from ignorant and barbarous ancestors  (Chiefly Quotes) The more our bodies fail us, the more naked and more demanding is the spirit, the more open and loving we can become if we are not afraid of what we are and of what we feel.

From mind it receives the forms of time and space, the principle of casuality, color, warmth, and beauty. Were there no mind, there would be no world  (Chiefly Quotes) I came into this world, not chiefly to make this a good place to live in, but to live in it, be it good or bad  (Chiefly Quotes) War is a survival among us from savage times and affects now chiefly the boyish and unthinking element of the nation  (Chiefly Quotes) Nature has presented us with a large faculty of entertaining ourselves alone; and often calls us to it, to teach us that we owe ourselves in part to society, but chiefly and mostly to ourselves  (Chiefly Quotes) My unreality is chiefly this: I have never felt much like a human being. It’s a splendid feeling  (Chiefly Quotes)
