| William Makepeace Thackeray
'Tis strange what a man may do, and a woman yet think him an angel. Despair is perfectly compatible with a good dinner, I promise you. Do not be in a hurry to succeed. What would you have to live for afterwards? Better make the horizon your goal; it will always be ahead of you. I never know whether to pity or congratulate a man on coming to his senses. If a man character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business. If a secret history of books could be written, and the author's private thoughts and meanings noted down alongside of his story, how many insipid volumes would become interesting, and dull tales excite the reader! It is best to love wisely, no doubt: but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.Let a man who has to make his fortune in life remember this maxim: Attacking is the only secret. Dare and the world yields, or if it beats you sometimes, dare it again and you will succeed. Never lose a chance of saying a kind word.The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up a pen to write. What money is better bestowed than that of a schoolboy's tip? How the kindness is recalled by the recipient in after days! It blesses him that gives and him that takes. Whenever he met a great man he groveled before him, and my-lorded him as only a free-born Briton can do. |
