All progress is based upon a universal innate desire of every organism to live beyond its means. Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself. When a man is in doubt about this or that in his writing, it will often guide him if he asks himself how it will tell a hundred years hence. The public buys its opinions as it buys its meat, or takes in its milk, on the principle that it is cheaper to do this than to keep a cow. So it is, but the milk is more likely to be watered.

Samuel Butler Quotes
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on. All progress is based upon a universal innate desire on the part of every organism to live beyond its income. Friendship is like money, easier made than kept. The man who lets himself be bored is even more contemptible than the bore. Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well. The three most important things a man has are briefly, his private parts, his money, and his religious opinions. He has spent his life best who has enjoyed it most. God will take care that we do not enjoy it any more than is good for us. A definition is the enclosing a wilderness of idea within a wall of words. To do great work a man must be very idle as well as very industrious. Half the vices which the world condemns most loudly have seeds of good in them and require moderate use rather than total abstinence. Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them. A friend who cannot at a pinch remember a thing or two that never happened is as bad as one who does not know how to forget.

Samuel Butler
There are in fact two notable Samuel Butlers, both of them English authors, both satirists
Samuel "Hudibras" Butler
The first Samuel Butler ( ) was born in or near the town of Upton upon Severn in Worcestershire : he is remembered now for a satirical poem on Puritanism entitled "Hudibras". There is a memorial plaque to him in the small village church of Strensham, Worcestershire. The figure of Hudibras is a "true blew Englishman," a perfect Puritain knight of the Cromwellian stamp (see the entry on Oliver Cromwell for more). Butler pretends to write a fawning, heroic poem in praise of Hudibras and his exploits, but the poem is a mock heroic or parody "Hudibras" was written in an iambic tetrameter in closed couplets, with surprising feminine rhymes. This verse form is now referred to as "Hudibrastic." Consider the following from the opening of the poem, where the English Civil War is described thus: "When civil dudgeon first grew high,
And men fell out they knew not why?

Samuel Butler
BUTLER, Samuel Lo scrittore inglese nacque a Langar-cum-Barnstone, (Nottingham). Destinato dal padre alla carriera ecclesiastica, compì i suoi studi presso l'università di Cambridge. Annoiato dalla vita che altri gli avevano destinato, fuggì in Nuova Zelanda, dove divenne allevatore. La sua opera più famosa rimane Erewhon (1872), racconto ambientato in un immaginario paese che ricorda da vicino l'Inghilterra bigotta e devota al dio denaro del suo tempo, che egli ridicolizza. Conobbe l'opera di Darwin, senza mai abbracciarne il pensiero.
In questo brano, tratto da Erewon, Butler mette in ridicolo la metafora dell'orologio di Paley: Quando essi per la prima volta trovarono l'orologio, pensai a Paley, quando parla che un selvaggio, vedendo un orologio, conclude subito che esso è stato costruito; ebbene, queste persone non erano selvaggi, ma nondimeno sentivo che questa era la conclusione a cui sarebbero dovuti arrivare e pensavo a che persona straordinariamente saggia doveva essere stata il vescovo Paley, quando fui sorpreso da un'occhiata di orrore sulla faccia del magistrato, un'occhiata che mi diede l'impressione che egli guardasse al mio orologio non come a qualcosa che sia stato costruito, ma piuttosto come se esso stesso fosse il creatore di se stesso e di tutto l'universo o per lo meno una delle prime grandi cause di tutte le cose Questo punto di vista poteva benissimo essere quello di una persona che non aveva nessuna esperienza della civiltà europea e fui contrariato con

Foundations of Business Thought Samuel Butler (1835-1902) was an English novelist. He was born in Nottinghamshire, and educated at the University of Cambridge. His father was Rev. Thomas Butler and his grandfather was headmaster and bishop, Dr. Samuel Butler. Butler was raised in a religious environment that was intolerant of curiosity. In his early years, Butler traveled to Italy. He loved Italy so much that it came to be known as his "second country". While in Italy he was first introduced to the music of Handel which became a powerful influence in his life. He was also greatly influenced by the works of Homer. While Butler was at Cambridge in 1854, he fully expected to be ordained and to follow in his father's footsteps. However, he began to have doubts about the ministry. After he finished school at Cambridge and instead of being ordained, Butler immigrated to New Zealand where he was a successful sheep rancher from 1860 to 1864. He describes his life in New Zealand as one of working "like a common servant" in semi-solitude. He considered New Zealand the place that gave him a strong, robust sense of values. Butler supplemented his living by occasionally publishing some of his writing. During this time, Butler read Darwin's The Origin of Species . It appealed to Butler profoundly. In 1864, Butler returned to England where he lived for thirty-eight years until his death. During his time in England he began his life as a painter. As a painter he had considerable success. However, he soon began to write again. Butler is best known for his satirical works. In

Selected Authors Selected Greatest Works ... Editor Eric BUTLER, Samuel Samuel Butler is one of those all-round literary guys who engage in the burning social and intellectual issues of the day and are quoted by everyone for a couple of generations, but whose fame fades with the issues of the departed day, so that only the historically minded still cite their fiery brilliance. Others in this category include G.K. Chesterton and H.L. Mencken. Butler's ideas however deserve to be remembered . George Bernard Shaw wrote in a preface to Major Barbara It drives me almost to despair of English literature when one sees so extraordinary a study of English life as Butler's posthumous "Way of All Flesh" making so little impression that when, some years later, I produce plays in which Butler's extraordinarily fresh, free and future-piercing suggestions have an obvious share, I am met with nothing but vague cacklings about Ibsen and Nietzsche.... Really the English do not deserve to have great men. Although The Way of All Flesh (1903) has indeed become recognized as a modern classic since Shaw wrote this, Butler's name still does not trip off the public tongue as easily as Ibsen, Nietzsche, Dickens, Darwin or a dozen other lights of the Victorian era. His writings seem too wrapped in the intellectual concerns of his time. But if you do venture into his works with the intention to see past those trappings, you find not only a lively wit but a depth and breadth that makes his thinking applicable to today. The questions of religion versus secularism, the organization of society, and the idea of progress are still with us today and we could still use his "fresh, free and future-piercing suggestions".
