Despise Quotes
-
I have never been afraid of making patriots; but I disdain and despise all their efforts.
Robert Walpole
-
Punning is a talent which no man affects to despise but he that is without it.
Jonathan Swift
-
You need not fear me, for I not only should think it wrong to marry a man that was deficient in sense or in principle, but I should never be tempted to do it; for I could not like him, if he were ever so handsome, and ever so charming, in other respects; I should hate him – despise him – pity him – anything but love him. My affections not only ought to be founded on approbation, but they will and must be so: for, without approving, I cannot love. It is needless to say, I ought to be able to respect and honour the man I marry, as well as love him, for I cannot love him without.
Anne Bronte
-
There are but three ways for a man to revenge himself of the censure of the world,--to despise it, to return the like, or to endeavor to live so as to avoid it; the first of these is usually pretended, the last is almost impossible, the universal practice is for the second.
Jonathan Swift
-
I hate and love. You ask, perhaps, how can that be? I know not, but I feel the agony.
Catullus
-
I despise charity. It gives crumbs to a few and silences the others.
Eve Ensler
