More quotes by Arnold Bennett
Only a very gifted mind could cope singly with all the problems which present themselves in the perfecting of a home.
Arnold Bennett
Which of us is not saying to himself which of us has not been saying to himself all his life: I shall alter that when I have a little more time? We never shall have any more time. We have, and we have always had, all the time there is.
Arnold Bennett
Great wealth may be to its owner a blessing or a curse. Alas! I fear it is too often the latter. It hardens the heart, blunts the finer susceptibilities, and transforms into a fiend what under more favourable circumstances might have been a human being.
Arnold Bennett
The chances are that you have already come to believe that happiness is unattainable. But men have attained it. And they have attained it by realizing that happiness does not spring from the procuring of physical or mental pleasure, but from the development of reason and the adjustment of conduct to principles.
Arnold Bennett
I don't read my reviews, I measure them.
Arnold Bennett
I will never cease advising my friends and enemies to read poetry before anything.
Arnold Bennett
Procrastination is suicide on the installment plan.
Arnold Bennett
The price of Justice is eternal publicity.
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
Worry is evidence of an ill-controlled brain it is merely a stupid waste of time in unpleasantness.
Arnold Bennett
The people who live in the past must yield to the people who live in the future. Otherwise the world would begin to turn the other way round.
Arnold Bennett
You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.
Arnold Bennett
Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.
Arnold Bennett
The man who begins to go to bed forty minutes before he opens his bedroom door is bored that is to say, he is not living.
Arnold Bennett
I ought to reflect again and again, and yet again, that the beings that I have to steer are just as inevitable in the scheme of evolution as I am myself have just as much right to be themselves as I am entitled to and they all deserve from me as much sympathy as I give to myself.
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
It is well, when judging a friend, to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior impartiality.
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 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
No mind, however loving, could bear to see plainly into all the recess of another mind.
Arnold Bennett
