More quotes by 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
Some people act as if there were a penalty for carrying concealed troubles. They exhibit them at every opportunity, begging for sympathy, even condescending to accept pity. Such persons never realize that the very ones to whom they are complaining are often struggling under a burden greater than their own.
Alice Hegan Rice
even though disease and sorrow are all about us, health and happiness are the normal state of man.

Yer feelin's is like ras'berry vinegar: if you're skeered to use 'em an' keep on savin' 'em, first thing you know they've done 'vaporated!
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
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
There is an invariable law that the only way to keep the real things of life is by sharing them or giving them away.
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
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.
Alice Hegan Rice
Somehow, I never feel like good things b'long to me till I pass 'em on to somebody else.
Alice Hegan Rice
It is a terrifying as well as hopeful truth that we tend to bring into being in form whatever we fashion in thought.
