More From Thomas Moore

I think it's very pretty. can it be pretty if no one thinks it's pretty? i think it's pretty. if you're the only one? that's pretty pretty. and what about the boys? don't you want them to think you're pretty? i wouldn't want a boy to think i was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought i was pretty.
Boys Thinking Want
And could i look upon her without compassion, seeing her punishment in the ruin she was, in her profound unfitness for this earth on which she was placed, in the vanity of sorrow which had become a master mania, like the vanity of penitence, the vanity of remorse, the vanity of unworthiness, and other monstrous vanities that have been curses in this world?
Compassion Punishment Vanity
If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity. but i mean by vanity only that they appreciate their own worth. without this kind of vanity they would not be great. and with vanity alone, of course, a man is nothing.
Mean Men Vanity
Retire? retire from what? life? i will only retire when i am dead!
Photography Photographer Retiring
When shall i at last retire into solitude alone, without companions, without joy and without sorrow, with only the sacred certainty that all is a dream? when, in my rags—without desires—shall i retire contented into the mountains? when, seeing that my body is merely sickness and crime, age and death, shall i—free, fearless, and blissful—retire to the forest? when? when, oh when?
Dream Joy Fearless
The ant's a centaur in his dragon world. pull down thy vanity, it is not man made courage, or made order, or made grace, pull down thy vanity, i say pull down. learn of the green world what can be thy place in scaled invention or true artistry, pull down thy vanity, paquin pull down! the green casque has outdone your elegance.

Similar Quotes
They who cannot be induced to fear for love will never be enforced to love for fear. love opens the heart, fear shuts it; that encourages, this compels; and victory meets encouragement, but flees compulsion.
Encouragement Fear Heart
Fear not, cesario, take thy fortunes up. be that thou know'st thou art and then thou art as great as that thou fear'st.
Courage Art Action
Of the quaking recruit, three pitched battles make a grim grenadier; and he who shrank from the muzzle of a cannon, is now ready to yield his mustache for a sponge.
Courage Yield Mustache
We hurt people by being too busy. too busy to notice their needs. too busy to drop that note of comfort or encouragement or assurance of love. too busy to listen when someone needs to talk. too busy to care.
Christian Encouragement Hurt
