More quotes by Arthur Helps

Arthur Helps
Selfishness, when it is punished by the world, is mostly punished because it is connected with egotism.
Arthur Helps
The measure of civilization in a people is to be found in its just appreciation of the wrongfulness of war.
Arthur Helps
Few have wished for memory so much as they have longed for forgetfulness.
Arthur Helps
Most terrors are but spectral illusions. Only have the courage of the man who could walk up to his spectre seated in the chair before him, and sit down upon it the horrid thing will not partake the chair with you.
Arthur Helps
Tolerance is the only real test of civilization.
Arthur Helps
Many a man has a kind of a kaleidoscope, where the bits of broken glass are his own merits and fortunes and they fall into harmonious arrangements, and delight him, often most mischievously and to his ultimate detriment but they are a present pleasure.
Arthur Helps
