More quotes by Sydney Smith
It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little.
Let onion atoms lurk within the bowl
And, scarce suspected, animate the whole.
Great men hallow a whole people and lift up all who live in their time.
It is always right that a man should be able to render a reason for the faith that is within him.

Life could not be lived wet, whether it be in rain or tears.
In much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Every joy that some experience is paid for by the sorrow of others.
