?"It is impossible to love, and be wise. Love is a really child of folly. Love is ever rewarded either with the reciprocal, or with the inward and secret contempt." It was Bacon with this essay who wrote that for a person to be a "success" inside of the world, he or she most appropriate not ever fall in love. ". there may be an Unknown Country lying beneath the places that we know, and appearing only in moments of revelation. perhaps those things we see inside the number of moments of intense emotion which come to us, we know not whence. " "There is known as a one-sided feud involving artists and critics." ". he will never be taken seriously until he descends from purple generalities to the particular naming of names." "The Stage-Coachmen Of England: A Bully Served Out" "Truly the brutality and rapacious insolence of English coachmen had reached a climax; it was time that these fellows should be disenchanted, as well as time -- thank Heaven! -- was not far distant. Let the craven dastards who made use of to curry favour with them, and applaud their brutality, lament their loss now that they and their vehicles have disappeared from the roads; I, who have ever been an enemy to insolence, cruelty, and tyranny, loathe their memory." "Reflecting in this sort of random fashion, and strolling with no greater method, I worked my way again through Cheapside and found myself once a great deal more in front of Sweeting's window. Again the turtles attracted me. They were being alive, and so far at any rate they agreed with me. Nay, they had eyes, mouths, legs, if not arms, and feet, so there was a whole lot in which we were being both equally of the mind, but surely they must be mistaken in arming themselves so very heavily. Any creature on receiving what the turtle aimed toward would overreach itself and be landed not in safety but annihilation."

"History. is Philosophy teaching by Go through. the essence of innumerable Biographies. He who sees no world but that of courts and camps; and writes only how soldiers ended up drilled and shot. will pass for a much more or less instructive Gazetteer. [not] an Historian" "Trial of Marie-Antoinette" "'Have you anything to say?' The Accused shook her head, without speech. Night's candles are burning out; and with her too Time is finishing, and it will be Eternity and Working day. This Hall of Tinville's is dark, ill-lighted except where she stands. Silently she withdraws from it, to die." "It requires longer years of plentitude and quiet, the slow growth of tremendous parks, the seasoning of oaken beams, the dark enrichment of red wine in cellars and in inns, all the leisure in addition to the life of England through countless centuries, to provide at last the generous and genial fruit of English snobbishness. And it requires battery and barricade, songs within the streets, and ragged men dead for an idea, to develop and justify the terrible flower of French indecency." "War: We are all men with the same power of making and destroying, with the same divine foresight mocked by the same animal blindness." "Criticism. becomes a treachery, for it implies that you choose to are beginning to doubt these superiorities upon which your friendship is supposed to be dependent. It is as a result of a man is your friend, and you like him so a great deal and know him so perfectly, you are curious about him. You're in fact an expert upon him. when you consider that around the warmth of friendship his disguises melt absent from him, and he shows himself to you just as he is." "The Origin Of Species" "It is interesting to contemplate a tangled bank, clothed with a multitude of plants of a lot kinds, with birds singing within the bushes, with quite a few insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed types, so different from every single other, and dependent on just about every other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting all around us." "Recapitulation and Conclusion" "When we no longer glimpse at an organic being as a savage looks in a ship, as something wholly beyond his comprehension; when we regard every production of nature as just one which has had a very long history; when we contemplate every complex structure and instinct given that the summing up of lots of contrivances, each individual useful to the possessor, while in the same way as any very good mechanical invention is the summing up of your labour, the knowledge, the reason, and even the blunders of numerous workmen." "The four greys skimmed along, as if they liked it extremely also as Tom did; the bugle was in as substantial spirits given that the greys; the coachman chimed in in some cases with his voice; the wheels hummed cheerfully in unison; the brass-work around the harness was an orchestra of small bells; and thus, as they went clinking, jingling, rattling, smoothly on, the whole concern, from the buckles within the leaders' coupling-reins to the handle of your hind boot, was an individual superb instrument of music." "My Copy Of Keats" "I turn to Hyperion. as a blind man to the warmth belonging to the sun. Some qualities of your poem I can appreciate; but always in its presence I am weighed down by the consciousness that my deficiency in some perception debars me from undreamed of privileges." "If, at any time, it comes into my head that a existing is due from me to somebody, I am puzzled what to give, until the opportunity is gone. Flowers and fruits are always fit presents." "The thought tends to be that though evolution is necessary and desirable for those that survive, the struggle is hard for those that do not survive." "A pretty face, a beautiful figure, a mellow tune, the sight of dancing, a blackbird's song, the moon behind a poplar tree, starry nights, sweet scents, and also language of Shakespeare - all these moved him deeply. [He] had never even sought to make his mark in public affairs. To attain pre-eminence in any definite department of life would have warped and stunted too a great number of of his instincts, removed too a lot of his interests; and so he never specialised in anything. [His life's goal was to lead] a sane, moderate, and harmonious existence." "Plot, action, character, dialogue. The art of producing true dramatic dialogue can be an austere art, denying itself all license, grudging every sentence devoted to the mere machinery in the enjoy, suppressing all jokes and epigrams severed from character, relying for fun and pathos in the fun and tears of life. From commence to finish sound dialogue is hand-made, like reliable lace; clear, of fine texture, furthering with just about every thread the harmony and strength of the develop to which all must be subordinated." "Art tends to be that imaginative expression of human energy, which, through technical concretion of feeling and perception, tends to reconcile the individual with the universal, by exciting in him impersonal emotion. And then the greatest Art is the fact which excites the greatest impersonal emotion in an hypothecated perfect human being." "The slightest misfortunes belonging to the brilliant, one of the most imaginary uneasinesses within the rich, are aggravated with all the power of eloquence, and held up to engage our attention and sympathetic sorrow. The poor weep unheeded, persecuted by every subordinate species of tyranny; and every law, which gives others security, becomes an enemy to them." "Whitman is [like]. an intellectual organism so basic that it takes the instant impression of whatever mood approaches it. Hence the critic who touches Whitman is immediately confronted with his individual image stamped upon that viscid and tenacious surface. He finds, not what Whitman has to give, but what he himself has brought." "The essential checks upon the, royal authority were being 5 in quantity. 1. The king could levy no sort of new tax upon his people [except upon the]. assent and authority [of parliamnet]. two. [Indeed, all law was to come from parliament]. 3. No man could be committed to prison but by a legal warrant specifying his offence; and by a usage nearly tantamount to constitutional right, he must be speedily brought to demo. four. The fact of guilt or innocence on the criminal charge was determined in the public court. 5. The officers and servants with the Crown. may very well be sued in an action for damages. [and] had been liable to criminal operation. " "In the to start with position, if people are to live happily together, they must not fancy, since they are thrown together now, that all their lives have been exactly similar up to the existing time, that they started exactly alike, which they are to be with the foreseeable future for the same mind. A thorough conviction belonging to the difference of men is the nice thing to be assured of in social knowledge: it is to life what Newton's law is to astronomy. Typically men have a knowledge of it with regard to the world in general: they do not expect the outer world to agree with them in all points, but are vexed at not being able to drive their private tastes and opinions into those they live with. Diversities distress them. They will not see that there are most kinds of virtue and wisdom." "And then we come to 1802, the good last calendar year of the twin life; the last calendar year in the 5 in which those two had lived as one particular soul and an individual heart. They have been at Dove cottage, on something less than ?150 a 12 months. Poems have been thronging thick about them; they ended up living intensely. John was alive. Mary Hutchinson was at Sockburn. Coleridge was nevertheless Coleridge, not the bemused and futile mystic he was to become. As for Dorothy, she lives a thing enskied, floating from ecstasy to ecstasy." "My Last Walk With The Schoolmistress" "I don't know anything sweeter than this leaking in of Nature through all the cracks inside walls and floors of cities. The trees look and feel down from the hillsides and ask every single other, as they stand on tiptoe, -- ' What are these people about?' Along with the very small herbs at their feet search up and whisper back again, -- 'We will go and see.'" "A Message To Garcia" "It is just not book-learning young men will need, nor instruction about this which, but a stiffening in the vertebrae which is able to cause them to be loyal into a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies: do the thing-. " ". applied science. consists of deductions from those general principles, established by reasoning and observation. No a person can safely make these deductions until he has a firm grasp within the principles. the machinery of society is at least as delicate as that of the spinning-jenny, and as tiny possibly to be improved by the meddling of those who haven't taken the trouble to master the principles of its action." "My Winter Garden" ". and when a person finds one's self around the wrong side of forty, additionally, the initially gray hairs begin to reveal to the temples. why, an individual makes a virtue of necessity: and if an individual nonetheless lusts after sights, takes the nearest, and looks for wonders, not on the Himalayas or Lake Ngami, but within the turf in the lawn and also brook while in the park. [one will gain] a respect for quick labors, a thankfulness for painless pleasures, a sympathy with straightforward people, and possibly, my trusty friend, with me and my very little tours about that moorland which I call my winter-garden. " ". a frank pleasant manner will often clench a bargain a lot more effectually than a 50 percent for every cent." "Catchwords And Claptrap" "Most on the a lot better writers of verse and prose, in all countries, seek a little more or less after precision, and have gained in truth what they have perhaps lost in loveliness. Claptrap, facile and inaccurate symbolism, the repetition with the tag additionally, the slogan, are to be found mainly just now in third-rate literature, in popular speech, and around the less educated push. In these places a person finds, on the lower plane, the same intention - the lazy and sentimental desire to convey an effect by by using catchwords." "[Historians] have fallen into the error of distorting facts to suit general principles. They arrive on the theory from seeking at a number of the phenomena, in addition to the remaining phenomena they strain or curtail to suit the theory. -- a small exaggeration, a minor suppression, a judicious use of epithets, a watchful and searching skepticism with respect to the evidence on a person side, a convenient credulity with respect to every report or tradition over the other. If it [a charge] cannot be denied, some palliating supposition is suggested, or we are at least reminded that some circumstance now unknown may have justified what at current appears unjustifiable. [Evidence which] supports the darling hypothesis. [that] inconsistent with it [are left behind]." "He [the Machiavellian character] never excites the suspicion of his adversaries by petty provocations. His purpose is disclosed, only when it is accomplished. His face is unruffled, his speech is courteous, till vigilance is laid asleep, till a vital point is exposed, till a sure aim is taken; and then he strikes to the to begin with and last time. To do an injury openly is, in his estimation, as wicked as to do it secretly, and far less profitable. With him by far the most honorable implies are those which are the surest, the speediest, and also the darkest. He cannot comprehend how a man should scruple to deceive those whom he does not scruple to destroy. He would think it madness to declare open hostilities against rivals whom he might possibly stab inside a friendly embrace, or poison in a very consecrated wafer." ". the Puritan was made up of two different men, the an individual all self-abasement, penitence, gratitude, passion; one other proud, calm, inflexible, sagacious. People, who saw nothing belonging to the godly but their uncouth visages, and heard nothing from them but their groans and their whining hymns, would laugh at them. But those had very little reason to laugh who encountered them during the hall of discussion, or inside discipline of battle. These fanatics brought to civil and military affairs a coolness of judgment and an immutability of purpose which some writers have thought inconsistent with their religious zeal, but which had been in fact the necessary effects of it. The intensity of their feelings on a single subject made them tranquil on every other. A particular overpowering sentiment had subjected. had cleared their minds from every vulgar passion and prejudice, and raised them previously mentioned the influence of danger and of corruption." "The Higher Court of Parliament was to sit, according to types handed down from the days for the Plantagenets, on an Englishman accused of exercising tyranny over the lord for the holy city of Benares, and over the ladies in the princely house of Oude. The location was worthy of like a demo. It was the good hall of William Rufus, the hall which had resounded with acclamations on the inauguration of thirty kings, the hall which had witnessed the just sentence of Bacon. " "To lodge inside of a garret up four pair of stairs, to dine inside of a cellar among footmen out of spot, to translate ten hours a working day for that wages of the ditcher, to be hunted by bailiffs from one particular haunt of beggary and pestilence to another. " "All men have a vein of Quixotry somewhere in their nature. They is counted on, in most things, to follow the beaten path of interest and personalized, till suddenly there comes along some question on which they refuse to appeal to interest; they take their stand on principle, and are adamant." "Pass now into a very stable staple landmark from the English scene -- London, whose 1st Commune, as it was called -- Communa Regis -- was, curiously enough, established by law, even though the king, Richard I. was on crusade and out of London and also kingdom. Stubbs leads us to perspective this incorporation of London as marking two significant changes: (1) the victory in the communal principle over the old shire organization, and (two) the triumph for the London merchant, over the noble. That was on the years 1191-1200; and now the law had let inside typical man as a judicial asset during the jury ordered in criminal cases by the Assize of Clarendon." "To the 1 [the idealist], human nature, naturally corrupt, is held again from ruinous excesses only by self-denying conformity to the ideals. To the opposite [the realist] these ideals are only swaddling clothes which man has outgrown, and which insufferably impede his movements. No wonder the two cannot agree." "Every legislative act presupposes a diagnosis including a prognosis. mere empirical generalizations which men draw from their dealings with their fellows suffice to give them some ideas of your proximate effects which new enactments will get the job done: and, seeing these, they think they see as far as needful. Discipline of physical science, however, would help to display them the utter inadequacy of calculating consequences determined by painless knowledge. And if there needs proof that calculations of consequences so based mostly are inadequate, we have it on the enormous labor annually entailed in the Legislature in trying to undo the mischiefs it has previously done." "In reality it is not really merely absurd to keep rubbish merely seeing that it is printed: it is positively a public duty to destroy it." Right here a writer of very popular novels, nevertheless to this working day, examines the "mind for the uneducated reader." "The people (it has become mentioned) like fast narrative. It appears to have been mentioned that they like incident, not character. It is claimed again that the people like crime. [Popular authors] hammer absent at murder and abduction unapplauded." "On The Choice Of the Profession" ". wisdom has nothing to do with the choice of the profession. the poor young animal, Man, turned loose into this roaring world, herded by robustious guardians, taken with the panic before he has wit enough to apprehend its cause, and soon flying with all his heels inside van from the general stampede." "The type and formula of most schemes of philanthropy or humanitarianism is this: A and B put their heads together to decide what C shall be made to do for D. I call C The Forgotten Man." Thackeray writes his essay in praise of Washington Irving and Thomas Babington Macaulay. As to Irving: "gentle, generous, good-humored, affectionate, self-denying". As to Macaulay: "this fabulous scholar, he reads twenty books to put in writing a sentence; he travels a hundred miles to make a line of description."." "Our steamer moved out at midnight, inside a drive of wind and rain. There have been bewildering and unrelated lights about us. Peremptory challenges were being shouted to us from nowhere. Sirens blared out of dark voids. And there was the skipper to the bridge. his face, alert, serene, with. the pride of those who look and feel direct into the eyes of an opponent, and care not in the least." "The grass became brown, and in more and more places was killed down to the roots; there was no hay; myriads of swarming caterpillars devoured the fruit trees; the brooks had been all dry; water for cattle had to be fetched from ponds and springs miles absent; the roads had been broken up; the air was loaded with grit; and also the beautiful green belonging to the hedges was choked with dust."
