More quotes by 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
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 are not in charge of the universe you are in charge of yourself.
Arnold Bennett
The pleasure of doing a thing in the same way at the same time every day, and savoring it, should be noted.
Arnold Bennett
I don't read my reviews, I measure them.
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
There is no magic method of beginning... Take hold of your nerves, and jump.
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
Time is the explicable raw material of everything.
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
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
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
Much ingenuity with a little money is vastly more profitable and amusing than much money without ingenuity.
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
You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.
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
The makers of literature are those who have seen and felt the miraculous interestingness of the universe. If you have formed...literary taste...your life will be one long ecstasy of denying that the world is a dull place.
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
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.
