Censure is willingly indulged ordsprog

Censure is willingly indulged, because it always implies some superiority: men please themselves with imagining that they have made a deeper search, or wider survey than others, and detected faults and follies which escape vulgar observation

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

The difference of race is one of the reasons why I fear war may always exist; because race implies difference, difference implies superiority, and superiority leads to predominance

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

Benjamin Disraeli

Small faults indulged are little thieves that let in greater

Thomas Fuller (1608-1661)

Thomas Fuller

Whatever is attempted without previous certainty of success, may be considered as a project, and amongst narrow minds may, therefore, expose its author to censure and contempt; and if the liberty of laughing be once indulged, every man will laugh at

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859-1927)

Jerome Klapka Jerome

James Gallagher

I do not dislike the French from the vulgar antipathy between neighboring nations, but for their insolent and unfounded air of superiority

Horace Walpole (1717-1797)

Horace Walpole

But, by all thy nature's weakness, Hidden faults and follies known, Be thou, in rebuking evil, Conscious of thine own.

John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892)

John Greenleaf Whittier

The silence of a friend commonly amounts to treachery. His not daring to say anything in our behalf implies a tacit censure.

William Hazlitt (1778-1830)

William Hazlitt

Brisk growth in U.S. consumer spending is the main factor behind rising imports. Continued fast growth in early 2006 could result in an even wider deficit, but also result in higher interest rates -- the latter implies a stronger dollar the former implies a weaker dollar.

To linger in the observation of things other than the self implies a profound conviction of their worth

Walter Gilmore Simms
