Quotations By William Thackeray


Acting
The play is done; the curtain drops, Slow falling to the prompter’s bell A moment yet the actor stops And looks around to say farewell. It is an irksome word and task: And when he’s laughed and said his say He shows, as he removes the mask, A face that’s anything but gay.

Character
If a man's character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.

Faith
It's not dying for faith that's so hard, it's living up to it.
