Text Quotes
There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope  (It Is Quotes) Love is a portion of the soul itself, and it is of the same nature as the celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise  (It Is Quotes) Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy  (It Is Quotes) My crown is in my heart, not in my head, nor decked with diamonds and Indian stones, nor to be seen; my crown is called contentment; a crown it is, that seldom kings enjoy  (It Is Quotes) There is a kind of elevation which does not depend on fortune; it is a certain air which distinguishes us, and seems to destine us for great things; it is a price which we imperceptibly set upon ourselves  (It Is Quotes) To be perfectly happy it does not suffice to possess happiness, it is necessary to have deserved it  (It Is Quotes) It is hard, I submit, to loathe bloodshed, including war, more than I do, but it is still harder to exceed my loathing of the very nature of totalitarian states in which massacre is only an administrative detail  (It Is Quotes) He jests at scars that never felt a wound. But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet is the sun!  (It Is Quotes) Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice; but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death  (It Is Quotes) Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones  (It Is Quotes) The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after  (It Is Quotes) Faith is the sense of life, that sense by virtue of which man does not destroy himself, but continues to live on. It is the force whereby we live  (It Is Quotes) The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary  (It Is Quotes) Our body is a machine for living. It is organized for that, it is its nature. Let life go on in it unhindered and let it defend itself  (It Is Quotes) To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it  (It Is Quotes) The way of fortune is like the milkyway in the sky; which is a number of small stars, not seen asunder, but giving light together: so it is a number of little and scarce discerned virtues, or rather faculties and customs, that make men fortunate  (It Is Quotes) Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital  (It Is Quotes) Generally speaking, a howling wilderness does not howl: it is the imagination of the traveler that does the howling  (It Is Quotes) Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question  (It Is Quotes) Let us speak, though we show all our faults and weaknesses, for it is a sign of strength to be weak, to know it, and out with it - not in a set way and ostentatiously, though, but incidentally and without premeditation  (It Is Quotes) But if nothing but soul, or in soul mind, is qualified to count, it is impossible for there to be time unless there is soul, but only that of which time is an attribute, i. e. If change can exist without soul  (It Is Quotes) If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away  (It Is Quotes) If it is surely the means to the highest end we know, can any work be humble or disgusting? Will it not rather be elevating as a ladder, the means by which we are translated?  (It Is Quotes) The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live  (It Is Quotes) It is no great art to say something briefly when, like Tacitus, one has something to say; when one has nothing to say, however, and none the less writes a whole book and makes truth into a liar - that I call an achievement  (It Is Quotes) It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes  (It Is Quotes) It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive  (It Is Quotes) There are two way of establishing a reputation, one to be praised by honest people and the other to be accused by rogues. It is best, however, to secure the first one, because it will always be accompanied by the latter  (It Is Quotes) Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire  (It Is Quotes) Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also  (It Is Quotes)
