Where wise actions are the fruit of life, wise discourse is the pollination.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit.
The literary depiction of life and its moral dilemmas compel us to use our conscience, to make those infallible distinctions between right and wrong.
The intellect of the wise is like glass; it admits the light of heaven and reflects it.
Good habits, which bring our lower passions and appetites under automatic control, leave our natures free to explore the larger experiences of life. Too many of us divide and dissipate our energies in debating actions which should be taken for granted.
Action, so to speak, is the genius of nature.
Wise living consists perhaps less in acquiring good habits than in acquiring as few habits as possible.
Life provides material for its agitation which makes its general views comprehensible to the masses.
Lives are changed by a moment's listening to conscience, by a single and quiet inclination of the mind.
To the wise, life is a problem; to the fool, a solution.
When an action is once done, it is right or wrong for ever; no accidental failure of its good or evil fruits can possibly alter that.
