Quotations for subjects

To envious and calumniating time. [ William Shakespeare, Troilus and Cressida ]

See where she comes, apparell'd like the spring;
Graces her subjects. [ Shakespeare ]

Dead scandals form good subjects for dissection. [ Byron ]

Great minds, like Heaven, are pleased in doing good,
Though the ungrateful subjects of their favours
Are barren in return. [ Rowe ]

He is an eloquent man who can treat humble subjects with delicacy, lofty things impressively, and moderate things temperately. [ Cicero ]

Although it is dangerous to have too much knowledge of certain subjects, it is still more dangerous to be totally ignorant of them. [ Colombat ]

We learn nothing from mere hearing, and he who does not take an active part in certain subjects knows them but half and superficially. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]

Beauty, wit, high birth, vigor of bone, desert in service, love, friendship, charity, are subjects all to envious and calumniating time. [ William Shakespeare ]

Religion is the eldest sister of philosophy: on whatever subjects they may differ, it is unbecoming in either to quarrel, and most so about their inheritance. [ Landor ]

It is always considered as a piece of impertinence in England, if a man of less than two or three thousand a year has any opinion at all upon important subjects. [ Sydney Smith ]

There are many arts among men, the knowledge of which is acquired bit by bit by experience. For it is experience that causes our life to move forward by the skill we acquire, while want of experience subjects us to the effects of chance. [ Plato ]

The sovereign good of man is a mind that subjects all things to itself and is itself subject to nothing; such a man's pleasures are modest and reserved, and it may be a question whether he goes to heaven, or heaven comes to him; for a good man is influenced by God Himself, and has a kind of divinity within him. [ Seneca ]
