Eternity looks grander and kinder if
Time grow meaner and more hostile. [ Carlyle ]

Nothing can be hostile to religion which is agreeable to justice. [ Gladstone ]

Your hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets. [ Napoleon I ]

Hostile is the world, and falsely disposed. In it each one loves himself alone. [ Friedrich Schiller ]

Evil and good are everywhere, like shadow and substance; (for men) inseparable, yet not hostile, only opposed. [ Carlyle ]

Everywhere the human soul stands between a hemisphere of light and another of darkness; on the confines of two everlasting hostile empires, Necessity and Free Will. [ Carlyle ]

A journalist is a grumbler, a censurer, a giver of advice, a regent of sovereigns, a tutor of nations. Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets. [ Napoleon I ]

Superstition is the fear of a spirit whose passions and acts are those of a man, who is present in some places, and not in others; who makes some places holy, and not others; who is kind to one person, and unkind to another; who is pleased or angry according to the degree of attention you pay him, or praise you refuse him; who is hostile generally to human pleasure, but may be bribed by sacrificing a part of that pleasure into permitting the rest. [ John Ruskin ]
