William Godwin (English - Writer)
March 3, 1756 - April 7, 1836
The cause of justice is the cause of humanity. Its advocates should overflow with universal good will. We should love this cause, for it conduces to the general happiness of mankind.
Invisible things are the only realities; invisible things alone are the things that shall remain.
Above all we should not forget that government is an evil, a usurpation upon the private judgement and individual conscience of mankind.
Extraordinary circumstances often bring along with them extraordinary strength. No man knows, till the experiment, what he is capable of effecting.
He that loves reading has everything within his reach.
Justice is the sum of all moral duty.
No man knows the value of innocence and integrity but he who has lost them.
Law is made for man and not man for the law. Wherever we can be sure that the most valuable interests of a nation require that we should decide one way, that way we ought to decide.
Love conquers all difficulties, surmounts all obstacles, and effects what to any other power would be impossible.
Innocence is not virtue. Virtue demands the active employment of an ardent mind in the promotion of the general good. No man can be eminently virtuous who is not accustomed to an extensive range of reflection.
