More quotes by Arnold Bennett
At moments we are all artists.
Arnold Bennett
Because her instinct has told her, or because she has been reliably informed, the faded virgin knows that the supreme joys are not for her she knows by a process of the intellect but she can feel her deprivation no more than the young mother can feel the hardship of the virgin's lot.
Arnold Bennett
The war years count double. Things and people not actively in use age twice as fast.
Arnold Bennett
Mother is far too clever to understand anything she does not like.
Arnold Bennett
Prepare to live by all means, but for Heaven's sake do not forget to live.
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
All wrong doing is done in the sincere belief that it is the best thing to do.
Arnold Bennett

Arnold Bennett
You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.
Arnold Bennett
I do want an expensive honeymoon. Not because I'm extravagant, but because a honeymoon is a solemn, important thing ... a symbol. And it ought to be done -- well, adequately.
Arnold Bennett
Far from the madding crowd is a mistake on a honeymoon.... Solitude! Wherever you are, if you're on a honeymoon, you'll get quite as much solitude as is good for you every twenty-four hours. Constant change and distraction -- that's what wants arranging for. Solitude will arrange itself.
Arnold Bennett
Pessimism, when you get used to it, is just as agreeable as optimism.
Arnold Bennett
It is well, when judging a friend, to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior impartiality.
Arnold Bennett
The most important preliminary to the task of arranging one's life so that one may live fully and comfortably within one's daily budget of 24 hours is the calm realization of the extreme difficulty of the task, of the sacrifices and the endless effort which it demands.
Arnold Bennett
Literature exists so that where one man has lived finely ten thousand may afterward live finely
Arnold Bennett
Procrastination is suicide on the installment plan.
Arnold Bennett
Being a husband is a whole time job. That is why so many husbands fail. They cannot give their entire attention to it.
Arnold Bennett
