More quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
Men will wrangle for religion, write for it, fight for it, die for it; anything but live for it.
Applause is the spur of noble minds, the end and aim of weak ones.
We often pretend to fear what we really despise, and more often to despise what we really fear.

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.
