Quotations for carelessness

Through carelessness.

Carelessness does more harm than a want of knowledge. [ Franklin ]

The blemishes, or errors, which carelessness has produced. [ Horace ]

If you will fling yourself under the wheels. Juggernaut will go over you; depend upon it. [ Thackeray ]

Childish, imbecile carelessness is enough to render any man poor, without the aid of a single positive vice. [ Francis Wayland ]

It is more from carelessness about truth, than from intentional lying, that there is so much falsehood in the world. [ Johnson ]

Too great carelessness, equally with excess in dress, multiplies the wrinkles of old age, and makes its decay still more conspicuous. [ Bruyere ]

Many a good intention dies from inattention. If, through carelessness or indolence, or selfishness, a good intention is not put into effect, we have lost an opportunity, demoralized ourselves, and stolen from the pile of possible good. To be born and not fed, is to perish. To launch a ship and neglect it is to lose it. To have a talent and bury it, is to be a wicked and slothful servant. For in the end we shall be judged, not alone by what we have done, but by what we could have done. [ Maltbie Babcock ]
