FARRAR, Frederick William Quotes
(1831-1903), English scholar and author
"Knowledge, without common sense," says Lee, is "folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, it is fanaticism; without religion, it is death." But with common sense, it is wisdom; with method, it is power; with charity, it is beneficence; with religion, it is virtue, and life, and peace.
No man can pass into eternity, for he is already in it.
There is only one real failure in life that is possible, and that is, not to be true to the best one knows.
Age and sorrow have the gift of reading the future by the past.

Man's liberty ends, and it ought to end, when that liberty becomes the curse of his neighbors.
No soul can preserve the bloom and delicacy of its existence without lonely musings and silent prayer, and the greatness of this necessity is in proportion to the greatness of evil.
Age and sorrow have the gift of reading the future by the sad past.
