More quotes by Charles Horton Cooley
When one ceases from conflict, whether because he has won, because he has lost, or because he cares no more for the game, the virtue passes out of him.
Charles Horton Cooley

Charles Horton Cooley
Each man must have his I it is more necessary to him than bread and if he does not find scope for it within the existing institutions he will be likely to make trouble.
Charles Horton Cooley
There is no way to penetrate the surface of life but by attacking it earnestly at a particular point.
Charles Horton Cooley
The chief misery of the decline of the faculties, and a main cause of the irritability that often goes with it, is evidently the isolation, the lack of customary appreciation and influence, which only the rarest tact and thoughtfulness on the part of others can alleviate.
Charles Horton Cooley
A talent somewhat above mediocrity, shrewd and not too sensitive, is more likely to rise in the world than genius.
Charles Horton Cooley
The imaginations which people have of one another are the solid facts of society.
Charles Horton Cooley
So far as discipline is concerned, freedom means not its absence but the use of higher and more rational forms as contrasted with those that are lower or less rational.
Charles Horton Cooley
