-

To think all you say, is but candor;
To say all you think, would be slander.
--William Allingham (1824-1899)
Irish man of letters and poet

Man's inhumanity to man makes countless
thousands mourn.
--Robert Burns (1759-1796)
Scottish poet and songwriter,
_Man Was Made to Mourn_ [1786]

O poor mortals, how ye make this earth bitter
for each other.
--Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)
Scottish historian and political philosopher,
_History of the French Revolution_

It is always easier to hear an insult and not retaliate than have the
courage to fight back against someone stronger than yourself; we can
always say we're not hurt by the stones others throw at us, and it's
only at night - when we're alone and our wife or our husband or our
school friend is asleep - that we can silently grieve over our own
cowardice.
--Paulo Coelho (1947- )
Brazilian lyricist and novelist

A nickname is the hardest stone that the devil
can throw at a man.
--William Hazlitt (1778-1830)
English essayist

Men hate more steadily than they love; and if I have
said something to hurt a man once, I shall not get
the better of this by saying many things to please
him.
--Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)
English poet, critic, and lexicographer,
in James Boswell _Life of Samuel Johnson_ [1791]

It is terrible to destroy a person's picture of himself
in the interests of truth or some other abstraction.
--Doris Lessing (1919- )
Iranian-born novelist
_The Grass Is Singing_ [1950]

Is it worthwhile that we jostle a brother,
Bearing his load on the rough road of life?
Is it worthwhile that we jeer at each other,
In blackness of heart--that we war to the knife?
God pity us all in our pitiful strife.
--Joaquin Miller [Cincinnatus Hiner Miller] (1837-1913)
American poet and journalist,
"Is it Worthwhile?"

No man is exempt from saying silly things;
the mischief is to say them deliberately.
--Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533-1592)
French moralist and essayist

-

In all the ills which befall us, we look more at
the intention than the effect. A tile which falls
from the house may hurt more, but does not
vex us so much as a stone thrown designedly
by an ill-natured hand.
--Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)
French philosopher and novelist,
_Reveries of a Solitary Walker_ [1782]


The only moral lesson which is suited for a child--
the most important lesson for every time of life--
is this, 'Never hurt anybody.'
--Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)
French philosopher and novelist

-

This was the most unkindest cut of all.
--William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
English dramatist,
_Julius Caesar_ [1599], act 3, sc. 2, l. 185

Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word.
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword.
--Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
Anglo-Irish playwright and poet,
_The Ballad of Reading Gaol_ [1898]
