Careless

Famous quotes containing the word careless:

“We hold our hate too choice a thing
For light and careless lavishing.”
—Sir William Watson (1858–1936)

“The conduct of a man, who studies philosophy in this careless manner, is more truly sceptical than that of any one, who feeling in himself an inclination to it, is yet so over-whelm’d with doubts and scruples, as totally to reject it. A true sceptic will be diffident of his philosophical doubts, as well as of his philosophical conviction; and will never refuse any innocent satisfaction, which offers itself, upon account of either of them.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)

“Above all, he possessed a hearty good-will to all men, and never wrote a cross or even careless word.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
