Text Quotes
Of course poets have morals and manners of their own, and custom is no argument with them  (Custom Quotes) Choose always the way that seems the best, however rough it may be; custom will soon render it easy and agreeable  (Custom Quotes) Laws are sand, customs are rock. Laws can be evaded and punishment escaped, but an openly transgressed custom brings sure punishment  (Custom Quotes) Custom looks to things that are past, and fashion to things that are present, but both of them are somewhat purblind as to things that are to come  (Custom Quotes) Old custom is hard to break and scarce any man will be led otherwise than seemeth good unto himself  (Custom Quotes) There is nothing so extreme that is not allowed by the custom of some nation or other  (Custom Quotes) We must hold a man amenable to reason for the choice of his daily craft or profession. It is not an excuse any longer for his deeds that they are the custom of his trade. What business has he with an evil trade?  (Custom Quotes) A crime persevered in a thousand centuries ceases to be a crime, and becomes a virtue. This is the law of custom, and custom supersedes all other forms of law  (Custom Quotes) You perceive I generalize with intrepidity from single instances. It is the tourist’s custom  (Custom Quotes) Nature makes us poor only when we want necessaries, but custom gives the name of poverty to the want of superfluities  (Custom Quotes) Without the aid of prejudice and custom, I should not be able to find my way across the room  (Custom Quotes) What art seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine  (Custom Quotes) As was the custom in such cases, the pear tree was charged with murder and sentenced to be uprooted and burned  (Custom Quotes) The door could not be heard slamming; they had probably left it open, as is the custom in homes where a great misfortune has occurred  (Custom Quotes) Kindness and a caring mind are two separate qualities. Kindness is manners. It is superficial custom, an acquired practice. Not so the mind. The mind is deeper, stronger, and, I believe, it is far more inconstant  (Custom Quotes) The less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it  (Custom Quotes) All modern philosophizing is political, policed by governments, churches, academics, custom, fashion, and human cowardice, all off which limit it to a fake learnedness  (Custom Quotes) What if custom is wrong? demanded the part of her that believed in the code of chivalry. A knight must set things right  (Custom Quotes) Have a place for everything and keep the thing somewhere else. This is not advice, it is merely custom  (Custom Quotes) To be moral, correct, and virtuous is to be obedient to an old established law and custom  (Custom Quotes) The crisis is arrived when we must assert our rights, or submit to every imposition, that can be heaped upon us, till custom and use shall make us as tame and abject slaves, as the blacks we rule over with such arbitrary sway  (Custom Quotes) For over two thousand years it has been the custom among earnest moralists to decry happiness as something degraded and unworthy  (Custom Quotes) It’s my custom to say something flattering to begin with so I shall be excused if I put my foot in it later on  (Custom Quotes) In the custom of mourning, the fabric of the night had been ripped, revealing a star at each tiny tear  (Custom Quotes) Those that will combat use and custom by the strict rules of grammar do but jest  (Custom Quotes) After praying, and before eating anything, it is a good custom for everyone to feed one another a small portion of the food. This will help to cultivate mutual love and affection among the family members  (Custom Quotes) Laws gain their authority from actual possession and custom: it is perilous to go back to their origins; laws, like our rivers, get greater and nobler as they roll along: follow them back upstream to their sources and all you find is a tiny spring, hardly recognizable; as time goes by it swells with pride and grows in strength  (Custom Quotes) If we go back to the beginning, we shall find that ignorance and fear created the gods; that fancy, enthusiasm, or deceit adorned them; that weakness worships them; that credulity preserves them and that custom, respect and tyranny support them in order to make the blindness of men serve their own interests. If the ignorance of nature gave birth to gods, the knowledge of nature is calculated to destroy them  (Custom Quotes) There is no more ridiculous custom than the one that makes you express sympathy once and for all on a given day to a person whose sorrow will endure as long as his life. Such grief, felt in such a way is always present, it is never too late to talk about it, never repetitious to mention it again  (Custom Quotes) Were the judgments of mankind correct, custom would be regulated by the good. But it is often far otherwise in point of fact; for, whatever the many are seen to do, forthwith obtains the force of custom. But human affairs have scarcely ever been so happily constituted as that the better course pleased the greater number. Hence the private vices of the multitude have generally resulted in public error, or rather that common consent in vice which these worthy men would have to be law  (Custom Quotes)
