More quotes by Arnold Bennett
Much ingenuity with a little money is vastly more profitable and amusing than much money without ingenuity.
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
You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.
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
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

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
Pessimism, when you get used to it, is just as agreeable as optimism.
Arnold Bennett
Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.
Arnold Bennett
At moments we are all artists.
Arnold Bennett
The proper, wise balancing of one's whole life may depend upon the feasibility of a cup of tea at an unusual hour.
Arnold Bennett
Procrastination is suicide on the installment plan.
Arnold Bennett
Being a husband is a whole-time job.
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
