Samuel Butler

We all like to forgive, and love best not those who offend us least, nor who have done most for us, but those who make it most easy for us to forgive them.

He has spent his life best who has enjoyed it most. God will take care that we do not enjoy it any more than is good for us.

Priests are not men of the world it is not intended that they should be and a University training is the one best adapted to prevent their becoming so.

Words are not as satisfactory as we should like them to be, but, like our neighbours, we have got to live with them and must make the best and not the worst of them.

The best liar is he who makes the smallest amount of lying go the longest way.
