Author of quotes: Samuel Butler

I know of no exceptions to the rule that it is cheaper to buy milk than keep a cow.

That's really who should not have children, so it's the parents.

God cannot alter the past, but historians can.
God can't change the past, but historians can.

There is nothing outside -
No soft green grass,
None of those who sought peace
Before they sailed away, alas.
There is no bellicose controversy,
No friendly conversations.
Blank fun stuff
Tell the neighbor the neighbor
Everything here - and the hospital bed,
And crumpled to hell with the bed.
And every immortal so
How he managed.

As soon as anything in art begins to work for money - goodbye hope for a good work.

Conscience - educated young lady and she quickly stops talking with those who do not want to hear.

The leader of the world - Prejudice; and it turns out
As if the blind leads the blind.
Indeed, whose mind swam thorn,
Happy and the dog to take a guide.
<...>
In nature there is no worse perversion
Closed-minded than predrassvetniy.

No in England has shackles
The power of lazy old people!
One knowing care:
Patch up a sweat
Very leaky coffers
While the country is sinking.
When are they all tight -
Rush to the enemy, betraying a friend,
Caught a mess:
Spits at them and the friend and the enemy.

When the world would be able to decide
To stupidity to lose
It was used to blame
And became would not on whom to trunity,
Cases have diminished as
Just boredom, and more!
