More quotes by Arnold Bennett
At moments we are all artists.
Arnold Bennett
There is no magic method of beginning... Take hold of your nerves, and jump.
Arnold Bennett
Nearly all bookish people are snobs, and especially the more enlightened among them. They are apt to assume that if a writer has immense circulation, if he is enjoyed by plain persons, and if he can fill several theatres at once, he cannont possibly be worth reading and merits only indifference and disdain.
Arnold Bennett
I know people who read and read, and for all the good it does them, they might as well cut bread and butter. Unless you give at least 45 minutes of careful, fatiguing reflection upon what you are reading, your minutes are chiefly wasted.
Arnold Bennett
The parents exist to teach the child, but also they must learn what the child has to teach them and the child has a very great deal to teach them
Arnold Bennett
The best cure for worry, depression, melancholy, brooding, is to go deliberately forth and try to lift with one's sympathy the gloom of somebody else.
Arnold Bennett
Procrastination is suicide on the installment plan.
Arnold Bennett
A first-rate organizer is never in a hurry. He is never late. He always keeps up his sleeve a margin for the unexpected.
Arnold Bennett
The price of Justice is eternal publicity.
Arnold Bennett
It is difficult to make a reputation, but is even more difficult seriously to mar a reputation once properly made --- so faithful is the public.
Arnold Bennett
I don't read my reviews, I measure them.
Arnold Bennett
Saw Washington Monument. Phallic. Appalling. A national catastrophe.
Arnold Bennett
One of the chief things which my typical man has to learn is that the mental faculties are capable of a continuous hard activity they do not tire like an arm or a leg. All they want is change - not rest, except in sleep.
Arnold Bennett
I will never cease advising my friends and enemies to read poetry before anything.
Arnold Bennett
You are not in charge of the universe you are in charge of yourself.
Arnold Bennett
All wrong doing is done in the sincere belief that it is the best thing to do.
Arnold Bennett
The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.
Arnold Bennett
Your own mind is a sacred enclosure into which nothing harmful can enter except by your permission.
Arnold Bennett
Time is the explicable raw material of everything.
Arnold Bennett
The real Tragedy is the tragedy of the man who never in his life braces himself for his one supreme effort-he never stretches to his full capacity, never stands up to his full stature.
Arnold Bennett
