More quotes by William Lyon Phelps
The greatest of all the arts is the art of living together!
William Lyon Phelps
The amazing activity of the cat is delicately balanced by his capacity for relaxation. Every household should contain a cat, not only for decorative and domestic values, but because the cat in quiescence is medicinal to irritable, tense, tortured men and women.
William Lyon Phelps
The fear of life is the favorite disease of the 20th century.
William Lyon Phelps
Being educated means to prefer the best not only to the worst but to the second best.
William Lyon Phelps
One appreciates that daily life is really good when one wakes from a horrible dream, or when one takes the first outing after a sickness. Why not realize it now?
William Lyon Phelps
The highest happiness on earth is the happiness of marriage.
William Lyon Phelps
You can be deprived of your money, your job and your home by someone else, but remember that no one can ever take away your honor.
William Lyon Phelps
You can learn more about human nature by reading the Bible than by living in New York.
William Lyon Phelps
Honesty is not necessarily the best policy. The best policy would be to acquire a reputation for honesty and then to cheat at the psychological moment.
William Lyon Phelps
If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.
William Lyon Phelps
Herein lies the real value of education. Advanced education may or may not make men and women more efficient but it enriches personality, increases the wealth of the mind, and hence brings happiness.
William Lyon Phelps
The principle of happiness should be like the principle of virtue: it should not be dependent of things, but be a part of personality [and character].
William Lyon Phelps
There is never much trouble in any family where the children hope someday to resemble their parents.
William Lyon Phelps
Why is it so many people are afraid to admit they are happy?
William Lyon Phelps
Herein lies the real value of education. Advanced education may or may not make men and women more efficient but it enriches personality, increases the wealth of the mind, and hence brings happiness. It is the finest insurance against old age, against the growth of physical disability, of the lack and loss of animal delights.
William Lyon Phelps
The belief that youth is the happiest time of life is founded on fallacy. The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts, and we grow happier as we grow older.
William Lyon Phelps
A bibliophile of little means is likely to suffer often. Books don't slip from his hands but fly past him through the air, high as birds, high as prices.
William Lyon Phelps
The kind of happiness that stays with you is the happiness that springs from inward thoughts and emotions.
William Lyon Phelps
Real happiness is not dependent on external things. The pond is fed from within. The kind of happiness that stays with you is the happiness that springs from inward thoughts and emotions. You must cultivate your mind if you wish to achieve enduring happiness.
William Lyon Phelps
A well-ordered life is like climbing a tower the view halfway up is better than the view from the base, and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands.
William Lyon Phelps
