More quotes by 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
Those who never philosophized until they met with disappointments, have mostly become disappointed philosophers
Arthur Helps
Wise sayings often fall on barren ground, but a kind word is never thrown away.
Arthur Helps
Selfishness, when it is punished by the world, is mostly punished because it is connected with egotism.
Arthur Helps
The reasons which any man offers to you for his own conduct betray his opinion of your character.
Arthur Helps
Men rattle their chains-to manifest their freedom.
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
Infinite toil would not enable you to sweep away a mist but by ascending a little, you may often look over it altogether. So it is with our moral improvement: we wrestle fiercely with a vicious habit, which could have no hold upon us if we ascended into a higher moral atmosphere.
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
Few have wished for memory so much as they have longed for forgetfulness.
Arthur Helps
A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.
Arthur Helps
I do not know any way so sure of making others happy as of being so oneself, to begin with.
Arthur Helps
Thoughts there are, not to be translated into any language, and spirits alone can read them.
Arthur Helps
Do not be deceived into thinking that how a man acts is the full picture.
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
War may be the game of kings, but, like the games at ancient Rome, it is generally exhibited to please and pacify the people.
Arthur Helps
It has always appeared to me, that there is so much to be done in this world, that all self-inflicted suffering which cannot be turned to good account for others, is a loss - a loss, if you may so express it, to the spiritual world.
Arthur Helps
Routine is not organization, any more than paralysis is order.
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
Infinite toil would not enable you to sweep away a mist but by ascending a little you may often look over it altogether.
