More quotes by Alice Hegan Rice
It ain't no use putting up your umbrella till it rains.
Alice Hegan Rice
Just as a pool of water cannot reflect the sky overhead when it is restless and disturbed, so we can never get a perfect vision of the Divine, and show it to others when we are disturbed with human thoughts and personal problems. It is only when we are quite still and receptive that God can think His thoughts into us and use us for His purposes.
Alice Hegan Rice
I can think of no habit, kept up through the years, that binds a married couple more than that of reading good books together. Domestic problems and personal problems are for the time forgotten, and an intellectual intimacy is established that can be maintained in few other ways.
Alice Hegan Rice
Metaphysicians tell us that it is easier to get the body well than to get the mind to realize its wellness.
Alice Hegan Rice
The fascinating thing about ideals is that no sooner have we gained a desired peak than we find farther and higher peaks beyond. The thrilling adventure never ends.
Alice Hegan Rice
Solitude, if rightly used, becomes not only a privilege but a necessity. Only a superficial soul fears to fraternize with itself.
Alice Hegan Rice
happiness is a duty, not only because of its effect upon us but because of its influence upon others.
Alice Hegan Rice
The hardest grief is often that which leaves no trace.
Alice Hegan Rice
It'll be with me like it was with Uncle Ned's ole ox, I reckon he kep' a-goin' an' a-goin' till he died a-standin' up, an' even then they had to push him over.
Alice Hegan Rice
When one has a famishing thirst for happiness, one is apt to gulp down diversions wherever they are offered.
Alice Hegan Rice
any pursuit of happiness contrary to the common good is doomed to failure.
Alice Hegan Rice
No teaching that is not based on reason can be tolerated by critical minds, but the belief that an accident of blind force produces this highly organized world is far more fantastic than the theory that a Super Intelligence devised its ordered evolution.
Alice Hegan Rice
The arbitrary division of one's life into weeks and days and hours seemed, on the whole, useless. There was but one day for the men, and that was pay day, and one for the women, and that was rent day. As for the children, every day was theirs, just as it should be in every corner of the world.
Alice Hegan Rice
I believe in the immortality of the soul because I cannot conceive of an intelligent First Cause creating human beings through long process of evolution in this world only to destroy them.
Alice Hegan Rice
Joy is at its keenest when contrasted with sorrow, courage at its height when it follows fear, faith at its noblest when it grows from doubt.
Alice Hegan Rice
It is not what we have but what we do with what we have that constitutes the value of life.
Alice Hegan Rice
All the higher forms of life have evolved from some one's ideal of justice, liberty or beauty and the belief that nothing is too good to be true.
Alice Hegan Rice
The fact that beauty is at one and the same time without cost and above price, robs it of the curse of possessiveness.
Alice Hegan Rice
The discovery that it is in our power to change our lives by the thoughts we think is the first step toward spiritual mastery.
Alice Hegan Rice
There is no doubt about it that it is more difficult for a woman to follow a career than for a man. Through the centuries his time has been considered more valuable, and he has consequently been excused from wrestling with many of 'life's minor damnabilities.
