Quote Left Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer, And without sneering teach the rest to sneer; Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike, Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike; Alike reserv'd to blame, or to commend, A tim'rous foe, and a suspicious friend. Quote Right
Quote Left He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire. Quote Right
Quote Left I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. Quote Right
Quote Left Liberty is a harsh mistress. You cannot pick and choose what you like and dislike about her. Liberty will not change her principles for you, no matter how much you claim to love her. She will stand fast in her demands for total acceptance. If you can't receive her, she will recognize you as a false lover and leave you. And when you hear that door slam, it will take every tear in your eye, every ounce of blood in your veins, and all the nerve in your heart to win her back. Quote Right
Quote Left I must dislike those who, whatever I do to please them, persist in disliking me; I must resist those who punish me unjustly. Quote Right
Quote Left I have often been asked, Do not people bore you? I do not understand quite what that means. I suppose the calls of the stupid and curious, especially of newspaper reporters, are always inopportune. I also dislike people who try to talk down to my understanding. They are like people who when walking with you try to shorten their steps to suit yours; the hypocrisy in both cases is equally exasperating. Quote Right
Quote Left I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence Quote Right
Quote Left I believe in luck: how else can you explain the success of those you dislike? Quote Right
Quote Left I may neither choose who I would, nor refuse who I dislike; so is the will of a living daughter curbed by the will of a dead father. Quote Right
Quote Left The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them. Quote Right
Quote Left Be able to cite three good qualities of every relative or acquaintance that you dislike. Quote Right
Quote Left There is one vice of which no man in the world is free; which every one in the world loathes when he sees it in someone else; and of which hardly any people, except Christians, ever imagine that they are guilty themselves. I have heard people admit that they are bad-tempered, or that they cannot keep their heads about girls or drink, or even that they are cowards. I do not think I have ever heard anyone who was not a Christian accuse himself of this vice. And at the same time I have very seldom met anyone, who was not a Christian, who showed the slightest mercy to it in others. There is no fault which makes a man more unpopular, and no fault which we are more unconscious of in ourselves. And the more we have it ourselves, the more we dislike it in others. The vice I am talking of is Pride or Self-Conceit: and the virtue opposite to it, in Christian morals, is called Humility. You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now, we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind. Quote Right
Quote Left Philosophers, for the most part, are constitutionally timid, and dislike the unexpected. Few of them would be genuinely happy as pirates or burglars. Accordingly they invent systems which make the future calculable, at least in its main outlines Quote Right
Quote Left He was an embittered atheist, the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him. Quote Right
Quote Left A dislike of death is no proof of the want of religion. The instincts of nature shrink from it, for no creature can like its own dissolution. But though death is not desired, the result of it may be, for dying to the Christian is the way to life eternal. Quote Right
Quote Left Some of your countrymen were unable to distinguish between their native dislike for war and the stainless patriotism of those who suffered its scars. But there has been a rethinking and now we can say to you, and say as a nation, thank you for your courage. Quote Right
Quote Left Now blessings light on him that first invented this same sleep: it covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; 'Tis meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot. 'Tis the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap; and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise-man even. There is only one thing that I dislike in sleep; 'Tis that it resembles death; there's very little difference between a man in his first sleep, and a man in his last sleep. Quote Right
Quote Left The most fatal disease of friendship is gradual decay, or dislike hourly increased by causes too slender for complaint, and too numerous for removal. Quote Right
Quote Left I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an air hole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up. Quote Right
Quote Left Most people dislike vanity in others, whatever share they have of it themselves; but I give it fair quarter, wherever I meet with it, being persuaded that it is often productive of good to the possessor, and to others who are within his sphere of action: and therefore, in many cases, it would not be altogether absurd if a man were to thank God for his vanity among the other comforts of life. Quote Right
Quote Left Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike. Quote Right
Quote Left Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life. Quote Right
Quote Left Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike Quote Right
Quote Left The timidity of the child or the savage is entirely reasonable; they are alarmed at this world, because this world is a very alarming place. They dislike being alone because it is verily and indeed an awful idea to be alone. Barbarians fear the unknown for the same reason that Agnostics worship it --because it is a fact. Quote Right
Quote Left Men are doubtful and skeptical about the Church they suspect and dislike the clergy they are impatient of theological systems but for Jesus Christ, as he stand out to view in the sacred pages, as they dimly realize him in their own best selves, as they catch faint traces of him in the lives of his saints, they have no other sentiments than those of respect and affection. Quote Right
Quote Left Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike. Quote Right
Quote Left What is morality in any given time or place? It is what the majority then and there happen to like, and immorality is what they dislike. Quote Right
Quote Left There are those who so dislike the nude that they find something indecent in the naked truth. Quote Right
Quote Left Democracy is being allowed to vote for the candidate you dislike least. Quote Right
Quote Left I think I may define taste to be that faculty of the soul which discerns the beauties of an author with pleasure, and the imperfections with dislike. Quote Right

Quote Left Just because someone is different, that doesn't mean that you have to down size them.
