More quotes by Arthur Helps
Do not be deceived into thinking that how a man acts is the full picture.
Arthur Helps
Selfishness, when it is punished by the world, is mostly punished because it is connected with egotism.
Arthur Helps
More than half the difficulties of the world would be allayed or removed by the exhibition of good temper.
Arthur Helps
The sense of danger is never, perhaps, so fully apprehended as when the danger has been overcome.
Arthur Helps
Keep your feet on the ground, but let your heart soar as high as it will. Refuse to be average or to surrender to the chill of your spiritual environment.
Arthur Helps
Do not shun this maxim because it is common-place. On the contrary, take the closest heed of what observant men, who would probably like to show originality, are yet constrained to repeat. Therein lies the marrow of the wisdom of the world.
Arthur Helps
If you are often deceived by those around you, you may be sure that you deserve to be deceived and that instead of railing at the general falseness of mankind, you have first to pronounce judgment on your own jealous tyranny, or on your own weak credulity.
Arthur Helps
It is better in some respects to be admired by those with whom you live than to be loved by them and this not on account of any gratification of vanity, but because admiration is so much more tolerant than love.
Arthur Helps
A great and frequent error in our judgment of human nature is to suppose that those sentiments and feelings have no existence, which may be only for a time concealed. The precious metals are not found at the surface of the earth, except in sandy places.
Arthur Helps
Offended vanity is the great separator in social life.
Arthur Helps
Tolerance is the only real test of civilization.
Arthur Helps
The worst use that can be made of success is to boast of it.
Arthur Helps
They tell us that Pity is akin to Love if so, Pity must be a poor relation.
Arthur Helps
The apparent foolishness of others is but too frequently our own ignorance.
Arthur Helps
Many know how to please, but know not when they have ceased to give pleasure.
Arthur Helps
You cannot ensure the gratitude of others for a favour conferred upon them in the way which is most agreeable to yourself.
Arthur Helps
The greatest luxury of riches is that they enable you to escape so much good advice.
Arthur Helps
In a balanced organization, working towards a common objective, there is success.
Arthur Helps
The most common-place people become highly imaginative when they are in a passion. Whole dramas of insult, injury, and wrong pass before their minds,--efforts of creative genius, for there is sometimes not a fact to go upon.
Arthur Helps
Men rattle their chains-to manifest their freedom.
Arthur Helps
