More quotes by Arthur Helps
Wise sayings often fall on barren ground, but a kind word is never thrown away.
Arthur Helps
The apparent foolishness of others is but too frequently our own ignorance.
Arthur Helps
Those who never philosophized until they met with disappointments, have mostly become disappointed philosophers
Arthur Helps
The very best financial presentation is one that's well thought out and anticipates any questions... answering them in advance.
Arthur Helps
Simple ignorance has in its time been complimented by the names of most of the vices, and of all the virtues.
Arthur Helps
What a blessing this smoking is! Perhaps the greatest that we owe to the discovery of America.
Arthur Helps
Few have wished for memory so much as they have longed for forgetfulness.
Arthur Helps

Arthur Helps
The worst use that can be made of success is to boast of it.
Arthur Helps
Do not be deceived into thinking that how a man acts is the full picture.
Arthur Helps
Always say a kind word if you can, if only that it may come in, perhaps, with singular opportuneness, entering some mournful man's darkened room, like a beautiful firefly, whose happy circumvolutions he cannot but watch, forgetting his many troubles.
Arthur Helps
Offended vanity is the great separator in social life.
Arthur Helps
Be cheerful [and grateful for the good that you have]: do not brood over fond hopes unrealized until a chain is fastened on each thought and wound around the heart. Nature intended you to be the fountain-spring of cheerfulness and social life, and not the mountain of despair and melancholy.
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
A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.
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
To hear always, to think always, to learn always, it is thus that we live truly. He who aspires to nothing, who learns nothing, is not worthy of living.
Arthur Helps
We are frequently understood the least by those who have known us the longest.
Arthur Helps
The world will find out that part of your character which concerns it: that which especially concerns yourself, it will leave for you to discover.
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
