More quotes by Johann Kaspar Lavater
Let none turn over books, or roam the stars in quest of God, who sees him not in man.
Where there is much pretension, much has been borrowed — nature never pretends.
If you see one cold and vehement at the same time, set him down for a fanatic.
All affectation is the vain and ridiculous attempt of poverty to appear rich.
Good can be done by the bad — but the good alone can be good.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
