Authors by Last Name
| Quotations by Herman Melville |
 Benevolent desires, after passing a certain point - Benevolent desires, after passing a certain point, can not undertake their own fulfillment without incurring the risk of evils beyond those sought to be remedied.We cannot live only for ourselves - We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects. Real strength never impairs beauty - Real strength never impairs beauty or harmony, but it often bestows it, and in everything imposingly beautiful, strength has much to do with the magic. In time of peril - In time of peril, like the needle to the lodestone, obedience, irrespective of rank, generally flies to him who is best fitted to command. |
