CytatyTaylorA bore is a man who, when you ask him how he is, tells you.Advice is like snow -- the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper in sinks into the mind. Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into, the mind. As it must not, so genius cannot be lawless; for it is even that constitutes its genius-- the power of acting creatively under laws of its own origination. Conscience in most men, is but the anticipation of the opinions of others. Every crowd has a silver lining. Gratitude is our most direct line to God and the angels. If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel, we can find something to be thankful for. Hardly a competent workman can be found who does not devote a considerable amount of time to studying just how slowly he can work and still convince his employer that he is going at a good pace. He that speaketh against his own reason speaks against his own conscience, and therefore it is certain that no man serves God with a good conscience who serves him against his reason. He who gives what he would as readily throw away, gives without generosity; for the essence of generosity is in self sacrifice. I have seen gross intolerance shown in support of tolerance. If you would stand well with a great mind, leave him with a favorable impression of yourself; if with a little mind, leave him with a favorable impression of himself. It is impossible to make people understand their ignorance; for it requires knowledge to perceive it and therefore he that can perceive it hath it not. It is very strange that the years teach us patience - that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting. Language is the armory of the human mind, and at once contains the trophies of its past and the weapons of its future conquests. |
