More quotes by Charles Horton Cooley
To cease to admire is a proof of deterioration.
Charles Horton Cooley
No matter what a man does, he is not fully sane or human unless there is a spirit of freedom in him, a soul unconfined by purpose and larger than the practicable world.
Charles Horton Cooley
There is hardly any one so insignificant that he does not seem imposing to some one at some time.
Charles Horton Cooley
Failure sometimes enlarges the spirit. You have to fall back upon humanity and God.
Charles Horton Cooley
If we divine a discrepancy between a man's words and his character, the whole impression of him becomes broken and painful he revolts the imagination by his lack of unity, and even the good in him is hardly accepted.
Charles Horton Cooley
By recognizing a favorable opinion of yourself, and taking pleasure in it, you in a measure give yourself and your peace of mind into the keeping of another, of whose attitude you can never be certain. You have a new source of doubt and apprehension.
Charles Horton Cooley
A person of definite character and purpose who comprehends our way of thought is sure to exert power over us. He cannot altogether be resisted because, if he understands us, he can make us understand him, through the word, the look, or other symbol.
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
If love closes, the self contracts and hardens: the mind having nothing else to occupy its attention and give it that change and renewal it requires, busies itself more and more with self-feeling, which takes on narrow and disgusting forms, like avarice, arrogance and fatuity.
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
I is a militant social tendency, working to hold and enlarge its place in the general current of tendencies. So far as it can it waxes, as all life does. To think of it as apart from society is a palpable absurdity of which no one could be guilty who really saw it as a fact of life.
Charles Horton Cooley
The imaginations which people have of one another are the solid facts of society.
Charles Horton Cooley
The literature of the inner life is very largely a record of struggle with the inordinate passions of the social self.
Charles Horton Cooley
To persuade is more trouble than to dominate, and the powerful seldom take this trouble if they can avoid it.
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
Each man must have his I it is more necessary to him than bread.
Charles Horton Cooley
The idea that seeing life means going from place to place and doing a great variety of obvious things is an illusion natural to dull minds.
Charles Horton Cooley
The actual God of many Americans... is simply the current of American life.
Charles Horton Cooley
Faith in our associates is part of our faith in God.
Charles Horton Cooley
Form the habit of making decisions when your spirit is fresh...to let dark moods lead is like choosing cowards to command armies.
Charles Horton Cooley
