Charles Sumner; A Smacking breeze has sprung up, and we shall part this company soon; and then for the Atlantic! Farewell then, my friends, my pursuits, my home, my country! Each bellying wave on its rough crest carries me away. The rocking vessel impedes my pen. And now, as my head begins slightly to reel, my imagination entertains the glorious prospects before me ... ~ David McCullough
Charles Sumner quotes by David McCullough

Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Sumner
A nation cannot afford to do a mean thing. ~ Charles Sumner

The reason [Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts] doesn't believe in the Bible is because he didn't write it himself. ~ Ulysses S. Grant
Charles Sumner quotes by Ulysses S. Grant
Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship consecrated to peace. ~ Charles Sumner
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Sumner
Nothing from man's hands, nor law, nor constitution, can be final. Truth alone is final. ~ Charles Sumner
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Sumner
The thought of going abroad makes my heart Leap," (Charles) Sumner wrote. "I feel, when I commune with myself about it, as when dwelling on the countenance and voice of a lovely girl. I am in love with Europa. ~ David McCullough
Charles Sumner quotes by David McCullough
War crushes with bloody heel all justice, all happiness, all that is Godlike in man. In our age there can be no peace that is not honorable; there can be no war that is not dishonorable. ~ Charles Sumner
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Sumner
On deck, he encountered another young man, Thomas Sumner, of Atherton, England, who also had a camera. (Sumner bore no relation to Cunard's New York manager, Charles Sumner.) Both hoped to take photographs of the harbor. The day was cool and gray - "rather dull," as Sumner put it - and this caused the two to wonder what exposures to use. They fell to talking about photography. ~ Erik Larson
Charles Sumner quotes by Erik Larson
Three things at least they [good politicians] must require; the first is back-bone; the second is back-bone; and the third is back-bone. ~ Charles Sumner
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Sumner
Whether the Union stands or falls, I believe the profession of arms will henceforth be more desirable and more respected than it has been hitherto. ~ Charles Sumner
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Sumner
I have never known a man who was sensual in his youth, who was high-minded when old. ~ Charles Sumner
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Sumner
Without knowledge there can be no sure progress. Vice and barbarism are the inseparable companions of ignorance. Nor is it too much to say that, except in rare instances, the highest virtue is attained only through intelligence. ~ Charles Sumner
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Sumner
Give me the centralism of liberty; give me the imperialism of equal rights. ~ Charles Sumner
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Sumner
As a farmer, man himself became closely attached to the landscape, firmly rooted to the soil that supported him. At times the soil seemed bountiful and kindly and again stubborn and unfriendly, but it was always a challenge to man's cunning. ~ Charles Kellogg
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Kellogg
It is a fact that unless children are brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, they, and the society which they constitute or control, will go to destruction. Consequently, when a state resolves that religious instruction shall be banished from the schools and other literary institutions, it virtually resolves on self-destruction. ~ Charles Hodge
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Hodge
Politics is much too serious to be taken too seriously; equally, there are many aspects of it so laughable as to be lamentable. ~ Charles Kennedy
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Kennedy
I love you dearly, my friend. I always will, but even without my tastes, I think we would not have grown well together. The fact is, you want an ally. I prefer a challenge. You want agreement; I want contraries. I want Silas. ~ K.J. Charles
Charles Sumner quotes by K.J. Charles
Of two evils, choose neither. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Tis unpleasant to meet a beggar. It is painful to deny him; and, if you relieve him, it is so much out of your pocket. ~ Charles Lamb
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Lamb
The Law cuts into the core of the evil, it reveals the seat of the malady, and informs us that the leprosy lies deep within. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Spurgeon
There are portraits and still-lifes
And the first, because 'human'
Does not excel the second ~ Charles Tomlinson
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Tomlinson
There are two ways to look at my publishing career. One is that I'm a novelist churning out books, who is eight into a series; the other way is that I'm a cartoonist, just starting out. Most cartoonists have long careers: Charles Schulz drew Peanuts for 50 years. ~ Jeff Kinney
Charles Sumner quotes by Jeff Kinney
Gross and vulgar minds will always pay a higher respect to wealth than to talent; for wealth, although it be a far less efficient source of power than talent, happens to be far more intelligible. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
Prayer is the breath, the watchword, the comfort, the strength, the honor of a Christian. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Joe gave a reproachful cough,as much as to say,Well,told you so. ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Dickens
Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance. ~ Charles Lindbergh
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Lindbergh
To not to have entirely wasted one's life seems to be a worthy accomplishment, if only for myself. ~ Charles Bukowski
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Bukowski
On the throne of France. In both countries it was clearer than crystal to the lords of the State preserves ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Dickens
Although upon doctrines of grace our views differ from those avowed by Arminian Methodists, we have usually found that on the great evangelical truths we are in full agreement, and we have been comforted by the belief that Wesleyans were solid upon the central doctrines. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
What I'm hoping for is something that goes much, much further than the conservative enablers of dog-eat-dog capitalism putting on a puppet show of cleaning house. But that's probably not going to happen just yet ... ~ Charles Stross
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Stross
To give to others is but sowing seed for ourselves. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
And when God steps in, His working is like the difference between a skyscraper and a star. ~ Charles R. Swindoll
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles R. Swindoll
To bring deserving things down by setting undeserving things up is one of its perverted delights; and there is no playing fast and loose with the truth, in any game, without growing the worse for it. ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Dickens
Each man's destiny is hung like a medallion around his neck. ~ Charles Le Gai Eaton
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Le Gai Eaton
Ah! poetry makes life what light and music do the stage - strip the one of the false embellishments, and the other of its illusions, and what is there real in either to live or care for? ~ Charles Dickens
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Dickens
My patriotism is of the kind which is outraged by the notion that the United States never was a great nation until in a petty three months' campaign it knocked to pieces a poor, decrepit, bankrupt old state like Spain. To hold such an opinion as that is to abandon all American standards, to put shame and scorn on all that our ancestors tried to build up here, and to go over to the standards of which Spain is a representative. ~ William Graham Sumner
Charles Sumner quotes by William Graham Sumner
A ground frequently taken by Christian theologians is that the progress and civilization of the world are due to Christianity; and the discussion is complicated by the fact that many eminent servants of humanity have been nominal Christians, of one or other of the sects. My allegation will be that the special services rendered to human progress by these exceptional men have not been in consequence of their adhesion to Christianity, but in spite of it, and that the specific points of advantage to human kind have been in ratio of their direct opposition to precise Biblical enactments. ~ Charles Bradlaugh
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Bradlaugh
If you want to be miserable, think about yourself, about what you want, what you like, what respect people ought to pay you and what people think of you. ~ Charles Kingsley
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Kingsley
I've always resented the force of attraction that traps me here on Planet Earth. It makes me feel like a bug stuck to a piece of duct tape. Ever since my teenage years, when I used to read a lot of science fiction and took it much too seriously, I've dreamed of somehow reaching escape velocity. I am, you might say, anti-gravity. ~ Charles Platt
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Platt
There is this of good in real evils; they deliver us, while they last, from the petty despotism of all that were imaginary. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
The Invitation, To Tom Highes What we can we will be, Honest Englishmen. Do the work that's nearest, Though it's dull at whiles, Helping, when we meet them, Lame dogs over stiles. ~ Charles Kingsley
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Kingsley
As Charles Stewart Parnell called out during the Irish rent strike campaign in 1879 and 1880:
It is no use relying on the Government ... You must only rely upon your own determination ... Help yourselves by standing together ... strengthen those amongst yourselves who are weak ... , band yourselves together, organize yourselves ... and you must win ...
When you have made this question ripe for settlement,then and not till then will it be settled. ~ Gene Sharp
Charles Sumner quotes by Gene Sharp
Whenever I have found that I have blundered, or that my work has been imperfected, and when I have been contemptuously criticised, and even when I have been overpraised, so that I have felt mortified, it has been my greatest comfort to say hundreds of times to myself that 'I have worked as hard as I could, and no man can do more than this.' ~ Charles Darwin
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Darwin
Much depends upon when and where you read a book. In the five or six impatient minutes before the dinner is quite ready, who would think of taking up the Faerie Queen for a stopgap, or a volume of Bishop Andrews's Sermons? ~ Charles Lamb
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Lamb
I am a firm believer that upon release, ex-offenders should be afforded a second chance to become productive citizens by providing rehabilitation and education that will help them join the workforce. ~ Charles B. Rangel
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles B. Rangel
God notices every one of us; there is not a sparrow or a worm that continues to live apart from His decrees. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Charles Sumner quotes by Charles Spurgeon
