The cynic is one
who never sees a good quality in a man and never fails to see a bad one. He is the human owl, vigilant in darkness and
blind to light, mousing for vermin and never seeing a noble game. The cynic puts
all human actions into two classes — openly bad and secretly bad.
— Henry
Ward Beecher
We can destroy
ourselves by cynicism and delusion, just as effectively as bombs.
— Kenneth
Clark
Cynicism is the
intellectual cripple’s substitute for intelligence. It is the dishonest
businessman’s substitute for conscience.
It is the communicator’s substitute, whether he is advertising man or
editor or writer for self-respect.
— Russell
Lynés
A cynic is a man
who, when he smells the flowers, looks around for a coffin.
— H. L.
Mencken (attrib.)
A cynic is a man who knows the price of
everything and the value of nothing.
— Oscar
Wilde
It’s gong to be
fun to watch and see how long the meek can keep the earth after they inherit
it.
— Kin
Hubbard
No matter how
cynical you become, it’s never enough to keep up.
— Lily
Tomlin
