| Arthur Helps
A man's action is only a picture book of his creed. Choose an author as you choose a friend. Everywhere I have sought rest and not found it, except sitting in a corner by myself with a little book. Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense. I do not know of any sure way of making others happy as being so one's self. In a balanced organization, working towards a common objective, there is success. There are no better cosmetics than a severe temperance and purity, modesty and humility, a gracious temper and calmness of spirit; and there is no true beauty without the signatures of these graces in the very countenance. Tolerence is the only real test of civilization. Wise sayings often fall on barren ground, but a kind word is never thrown away. |
