Letter "W" » William Makepeace Thackeray Quotes
«Let a man who has to make his fortune in life remember this maxim: Attacking is the only secret. Dare and the world yields, or if it beats you sometimes, dare it again and you will succeed.»
«Them's my sentiments»
«A man -- I let the truth out --Who's had almost every tooth out,Cannot sing as once he sang,When he was young as you are young,When he was young and lutes were strung,And love-lamps in the casement hung.»
«The wicked are wicked, no doubt, and they go astray and they fall, and they come by their deserts; but who can tell the mischief which the very virtuous do?»
«Tell me what find we to admireIn epaulets and scarlet coats --In men, because they load and fire,And know the art of cutting throats?»
«The hidden and awful Wisdom which apportions the destinies of mankind is pleased so to humiliate and cast down the tender, good and wise; and to set up the selfish, the foolish, or the wicked. Oh, be humble, my brother, in your prosperity! Be gentle with those who are less lucky, if not more deserving.»
«Business first; pleasure afterwards.»
«The rose upon my balcony the morning air perfuming,Was leafless all the winter time and pining for the spring.»
«And so it is over; but we had a jolly time, whilst you were with us, hadn't we?»
«Learn to admire rightly; the great pleasure of life is that.»
