Choose an author as you choose a friend.
From Arthur Helps
Routine is not organization, any more than paralysis is order.
The sense of danger is never, perhaps, so fully apprehended as when the danger has been overcome.
The man of the house can destroy the pleasure of the household, but he cannot make it. That rests with the woman, and it is her greatest privilege.
A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.
Experience is the extract of suffering.
Every happiness is a hostage to fortune.
The greatest luxury of riches is that they enable you to escape so much good advice.
It has always appeared to me, that there is so much to be done in this world, that all self-inflicted suffering which cannot be turned to good account for others, is a loss - a loss, if you may so express it, to the spiritual world.
