“Don't learn to do, but learn in doing.”
Samuel Butler
“A definition is the enclosing a wilderness of idea within a wall of words.”
Samuel Butler, The Note Books of Samuel Butler“We want words to do more than they can. We try to do with them what comes to very much like trying to mend a watch with a pickaxe or to paint a miniature with a mop; we expect them to help us to grip and dissect that which in ultimate essence is as ungrippable as shadow. Nevertheless there they are; we have got to live with them, and the wise course is to treat them as we do our neighbours, and make the best and not the worst of them.”
Samuel Butler, The Note Books of Samuel Butler“In matrimony, to hesitate is sometimes to be saved.”
