William Hone

English Radical Journalist, Publisher and Satirist

"Do not trouble another for what you can do yourself."

"Passion will master you, if you do not master your passion."

"The proudest heart that ever beat, Hath been subdued in me; The wildest will that ever rose-- To scorn thy cause or aid thy foes-- Is quelled, my God, by Thee! Thy will, and not my will, be done; Henceforth I'd be forever Thine; Confessing Thee, the Living Word... "

"Here quench your thirst, and mark in me An emblem of true charity; Who, while my bounty I bestow, Am neither seen, nor heard to flow."

"A good lather is half the shave."
