More quotes by Alice Hegan Rice
Mrs. Wiggs was a philosopher, and the sum and substance of her philosophy lay in keeping the dust off her rose-colored spectacles.
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
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
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
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
It is a terrifying as well as hopeful truth that we tend to bring into being in form whatever we fashion in thought.
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
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
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
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
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
Solitude, if rightly used, becomes not only a privilege but a necessity. Only a superficial soul fears to fraternize with itself.
Alice Hegan Rice
Cheerfulness is a debt we owe to society, in the paying of which we receive a generous discount. We can not open our hearts to give out cheer without more cheer rushing in to take its place.
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
Life is made up of desires that seem big and vital one minute, and little and absurd the next. I guess we get what's best for us in the end.
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
The hardest grief is often that which leaves no trace.
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
What can people not accomplish if they will but master the secret of steadfast perseverance.
Alice Hegan Rice
It is not what we have but what we do with what we have that constitutes the value of life.
