“Names are changed more readily than doctrines, and doctrines more readily than ceremonies.”
Thomas Love Peacock
“Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution, the only wrong what is against it”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.”
William Penn
“The person ready to believe unlikely and unproved things is readily made a slave of by the crafty”
Voltaire
“What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also.”
Julius Caesar
“Those who are incapable of committing great crimes do not readily suspect them in others.”
François de la Rochefoucauld
“We now demand the light artillery of the intellect; we need the curt, the condensed, the pointed, the readily diffused / in place of the verbose, the detailed, the voluminous, the inaccessible. On the other hand, the lightness of the artillery should not degenerate into pop-gunnery / by which term we may designate the character of the greater portion of the newspaper press / their sole legitimate object being the discussion of ephemeral matters in an ephemeral manner.”
Edgar Allan Poe
