Jonathan Swift quotes

I never saw, heard, nor read, that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular, but some degree of persecution.
- Jonathan Swift
I never wonder to see men wicked, but I often wonder to see them not ashamed.
- Jonathan Swift
Vision is the art of seeing things invisible.
- Jonathan Swift
What they do in heaven we are ignorant of; what they do not do we are told expressly.
- Jonathan Swift
Human brutes, like other beasts, find snares and poison in the provision of life, and are allured by their appetites to their destruction.
- Jonathan Swift
