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
Image
Routine is not organization, any more than paralysis is order.
Arthur Helps
Image
The heroic example of other days is in great part the source of the courage of each generation and men walk up composedly to the most perilous enterprises, beckoned onward by the shades of the brave that were.
Arthur Helps
Image
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

Arthur Helps
Image

Arthur Helps
Image
Few have wished for memory so much as they have longed for forgetfulness.
Arthur Helps
Image
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
Image
You cannot ensure the gratitude of others for a favour conferred upon them in the way which is most agreeable to yourself.
Arthur Helps
Image
The sense of danger is never, perhaps, so fully apprehended as when the danger has been overcome.
Arthur Helps
Image
It is in length of patience, endurance and forbearance that so much of what is good in mankind and womankind is shown.
Arthur Helps
Image
He who is continually changing his point of view sees more, and more clearly, than one who, statue-like, forever stands upon the same pedestal however lofty and well-placed that pedestal may be.
Arthur Helps
Image
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 reasons which any man offers to you for his own conduct betray his opinion of your character.
