Text Quotes
Man is not made better by being degraded (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
Pleasures take to themselves wings and fly away; true knowledge remains forever (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
The French, perhaps more than any other nation, cherish the memory of their dead by ornamenting their places of sepulture with the finest flowers, often renewing the garlands and replacing such plants as decay with vigorous and costly ones. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
There is, in our nature, a disposition to indulgence, a secret desire to escape from labor, which, unless hourly combated, will overcome and destroy the best faculties of our minds and paralyze our most useful powers. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
There is, I think, great difficulty in writing of one’s self: it is almost impossible to present subjects where the chief actor must be conspicuous and not seem to be, or really be, egotistical. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
I have had so much at heart. Defeated, not conquered; disappointed, not discouraged. I have but to be more energetic and more faithful in the difficult and painful vocation to which my life is devoted. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
Those who do wrong very often think others are censuring them, when they are not even thought of (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
Life is not to be expended in vain regrets. No day, no hour, comes but brings in its train work to be performed for some useful end - the suffering to be comforted, the wandering led home, the sinner reclaimed. Oh! How can any fold the hands to rest and say to the spirit, ‘Take thine ease, for all is well!’ (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
The great benefactors of individuals and of communities are the enlightened educators: the wise-teaching, mental and moral instructors and exemplars of our times. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
All my habits through life have been singularly removed from any condition of reliance on others, and the feeling - right or wrong - that aloneness is my proper position has prevailed since my early childhood, no doubt nourished and strengthened by many and quick-following bereavements. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
I was early taught by sorrow to shed tears, and now when sudden joy lights up, or any unexpected sorrow strikes my heart, I find it difficult to repress the full and swelling tide of feeling. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
I am contracting continually a debt of gratitude which time will never see canceled. There is a treasury from which it will be repaid, but I do not dispense its stores. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
I may be too craving of that rich gift, the power of sharing other minds. I have drunk deeply, long, and oh! how blissfully at this fountain in a foreign clime. Hearts met hearts, minds joined with minds; and what were the secondary trials of pain to the enfeebled, suffering body when daily was administered the soul’s medicine and food! (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
A virtuous character is likened to an unblemished flower. Piety is a fadeless bud that half opens on earth and expands through eternity. Sweetness of temper is the odor of fresh blooms, and the amaranth flowers of pure affection open but to bloom forever. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
I shall try and effect all that is before me to perform; and God, I think, will surely give me strength for His work so long as He directs my line of duty. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
By all means, have you give great attention to your arithmetic, as its advantages are so many and important. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
To me, the avocation of a teacher has something elevating and exciting. While surrounded by the young, one may always be doing good. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
I would be cautious in embracing or rejecting doctrines. Had they been essential to our salvation, they would have been more explicitly declared in the Gospels, where we are so well taught the practice of every good word and work. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
Think how slow would be your progress in learning without printed books: you could study only manuscripts, and those necessarily must be very few in number. Learn from this to value your books, and always handle them with care. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
That statesman is indeed happy who can count as his friends the really honest and consistent, the true Patriots, and the men of honorable thought. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
Time passed solely in the pursuit of pleasure leaves no solid enjoyment for the future; but from the hours you spend in reading and studying useful books, you will gather a golden harvest in future years. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
The lovely daisy, so justly celebrated by European poets, is not a native of our soil; we know it well, however, by cultivation in our gardens and green houses; besides, we are disposed to remember it for the sake of those who have sung its praises in immortal verse. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
The rose is the flower and handmaiden of love - the lily, her fair associate, is the emblem of beauty and purity. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
Your minds may now be likened to a garden, which will, if neglected, yield only weeds and thistles; but, if cultivated, will produce the most beautiful flowers, and the most delicious fruits. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
In order to do good, a man must be good; and he will not be good except he have instruction by counsel and by example. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
Attention to any subject will in a short time render it attractive, be it ever so disagreeable and tedious at first. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
I must study alone, as I am condemned to do every thing alone, I believe, in this life (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
I am never less disposed to sadness than when ill and alone. Sometimes I have fancied that it was the nature of my disease to create a rising, elastic state of mind, but be that as it will (I speak solemnly), the hour of bodily suffering is to me the hour of spiritual joy. It is then that most I feel my dependence on God and his power to sustain. (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
With care and patience, people may accomplish things which, to an indolent person, would appear impossible (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
In proportion as my own discomfort has increased, my conviction of necessity to search into the wants of the friendless and afflicted has deepened. If I am cold, they too are cold; if I am weary, they are distressed; if I am alone, they are abandoned (Dorothea Dix Quotes)
