Quotations for credulous

The incredulous are the most credulous. [ Pascal ]

Your noblest natures are most credulous. [ Chapman ]

Into these ears of mine,
These credulous ears, he poured the sweetest words
That art or love could frame. [ Beaumont ]

Women suffer more from disappointment than men, because they have more of faith and are naturally more credulous. [ Marguerite de Valois ]

He that lends an easy and credulous ear to calumny is either a man of very ill morals or has no more sense and understanding than a child. [ Menander ]

The habit of exaggeration in language should be guarded against; it misleads the credulous and offends the perceptive; it imposes on us the society of a balloon, when a moderately-sized skull would fill the place much better; it begets much evil in promising what it cannot perform, and we have often found the most glowing declarations of intended good services end in mere Irish vows. [ Eliza Cook ]
