William Hazlitt
Do not quarrel with the world too soon; for, bad as it may be, it is the best we have to live in, here. if railing would have made it better, it would have been reformed long ago.

More From William Hazlitt

We do not want churches because they will teach us to quarrel about god. we do not want to learn that. we may quarrel with men sometimes about things on this earth, but we never quarrel about the great spirit. we do not want to learn that.
Men Justice Diversity
Since we cannot attain unto it, let us revenge ourselves by railing at it; and yet it is not absolutely railing against anything, to proclaim its defects, because they are in all things to be found, how beautiful or how much to be coveted soever.
Revenge Criticism Critics
I offer a better way for america with ideas that actually work, a reformed tax code that rewards free enterprise instead of just enterprising lobbyists. a reformed health care system that operates by free choice instead of by force and doesn't leave you answering to cold, clueless bureaucrats. a commitment to a renewed commitment to building a 21st century military and giving our veterans the care that they were promised and the care that they earned.
Military Clueless Commitment
But i think the american people expect more from us than cries of indignation and attack. the times are too grave, the challenge too urgent, and the stakes too high to permit the customary passions of political debate. we are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future. as winston churchill said on taking office some twenty years ago: if we open a quarrel between the present and the past, we shall be in danger of losing the future.
Passion Past Thinking
In the secret of my heart i am in perpetual quarrel with god that he should allow such things [as the war] to go on. my non-violence seems almost impotent. but the answer comes at the end of the daily quarrel that neither god nor non-violence is impotent. impotence is in men. i must try on without losing faith even though i may break in the attempt.
War Heart Men
I am ready to talk today. i have been in a great many councils, but i am no wiser. we are all sprung from a woman, although we are unlike in many things. we can not be made over again. you are as you were made, and as you were made you can remain. we are just as we were made by the great spirit, and you can not change us ; then why should children of one mother and one father quarrel ? — why should one try to cheat the other ? i do not believe that the great spirit chief gave one kind of men the right to tell another kind of men what they must do.

My mother and i were very close and even when i left home and came to london i would ring her every day. she was very proud of me and loved my celebrity. she would often come to shoots and tv shows with me.
