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.

To sin by silence, when we should protest,
Makes cowards out of men.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
There are times when good words are to be left unsaid out of esteem for silence.
