Quote by William Makepeace Thackeray

People hate as they love, unreasonably.

People hate as they love, unreasonably.

Summary

This quote suggests that the intensity of hate and love can be irrational and illogical. Just like love, hatred is often driven by emotions rather than reason. It implies that people may harbor deep-seated animosity towards someone or something without legitimate grounds, just as they can passionately love someone unconditionally. Ultimately, the quote points to the complex and sometimes irrational nature of human emotions, highlighting the tendency for extreme feelings to arise without sound justification.

The Senator says the territory of California is three times

The Senator says the territory of California is three times greater than the average extent of the new States of the Union. Well, Sir, suppose it is. We all know that it has more than three times as many mountains, inaccessible and rocky hills, and sandy wastes, as are possessed by any State of the Union. But how much is there of useful land? how much that may be made to contribute to the support of man and of society? These ought to be the questions. Well, with respect to that, I am sure that everybody has become satisfied that, although California may have a very great sea-board, and a large city or two, yet that the agricultural products of the whole surface now are not, and never will be, equal to one half part of those of the State of Illinois; no, nor yet a fourth, or perhaps a tenth part.
