men thinking giving
I do strive to think well of my fellow man, but no amount of striving can give me confidence in the wisdom of a congressional vote.
thinking england permit
The English possess too many agreeable traits to permit them to be as much disliked as they think and hope they are.
thinking feelings too-much
It is unwise to feel too much if we think too little.
thinking history study
The comfortable thing about the study of history is that it inclines us to think hopefully of our own times.
children book thinking
Books that children read but once are of scant service to them; those that have really helped to warm our imaginations and to train our faculties are the few old friends we know so well that they have become a portion of our thinking selves.
thinking giving likes
Every true American likes to think in terms of thousands and millions. The word 'million' is probably the most pleasure-giving vocable in the language.
dream appreciation thinking
An appreciation of words is so rare that everybody naturally thinks he possesses it, and this universal sentiment results in the misuse of a material whose beauty enriches the loving student beyond the dreams of avarice.
thinking shifting comedy
For indeed all that we think so new to-day has been acted over and over again, a shifting comedy, by the women of every century.
simple thinking personality
The cure-alls of the present day are infinitely various and infinitely obliging. Applied psychology, autosuggestion, and royal roads to learning or to wealth are urged upon us by kindly, if not altogether disinterested, reformers. Simple and easy systems for the dissolution of discord and strife; simple and easy systems for the development of personality and power. Booklets of counsel on 'How to Get What We Want,' which is impossible; booklets on 'Visualization,' warranted to make us want what we get, which is ignoble.
joy criticism next
Next to the joy of the egotist is the joy of the detractor.
humor heart sanity
Humor hardens the heart, at least to the point of sanity ...
cat men vanity
The vanity of man revolts from the serene indifference of the cat.
cat circles secret
The cat dwells within the circle of her own secret thoughts.
talking people sacred
People with theories of life are, perhaps, the most relentless of their kind, for no time or place is sacred from their devastating elucidations.
