Augustus Hare : (2)

" Only when the voice of duty is silent, or when it has already spoken, may we allowably think of the consequences of a particular action. " - Augustus Hare

" It is well for us that we are born babies in intellect. Could we understand half what mothers say and do to their infants, we should be filled with a conceit of our own importance, which would render us insupportable through life. " - Augustus Hare
