Summary

This quote highlights the power of our minds to create and dwell on negative thoughts or events that may not have even occurred. It reflects the tendency of individuals to unnecessarily suffer by replaying past experiences or imagined scenarios in their minds. Often, the fear and distress they experience are not based on actual events, but on their perception or anticipation of what could go wrong. It serves as a reminder to focus on the present moment and not let imagined fears control our lives.

Men of genius are often dull and inert in society as the blazing meteor, when it descends to earth, is only a stone.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Oh, order! Material order, intellectual order, moral order!

Oh, order! Material order, intellectual order, moral order! What a comfort and strength, and what an economy! To know where we are going and what we want; that is order. To keep ones word, to do the right thing, and at the right time: more order. To have everything under ones hand, to put ones whole army through its manoeuvres, to work with all ones resources: still order. To discipline ones habits and efforts and wishes, to organize ones life and distribute ones time, to measure ones duties and assert ones rights, to put ones capital and resources, ones talents and opportunities to profit: again and always order. Order is light, peace, inner freedom, self-determination: it is power. To conceive order, to return to order, to realize order in oneself, around oneself, by means of oneself, this is aesthetic and moral beauty, it is well-being, it is what ought to be.

Henri Frederic Amiel

Our souls are not hungry for fame, comfort, wealth or power.

Our souls are not hungry for fame, comfort, wealth or power. Those rewards create almost as many problems as they solve. Our souls are hungry for meaning, for the sense that we have figured out how to live so that our lives matter, so that the world will be at least a little bit different for our having passed through it.

Among the virtues and vices that make up the British charact

Among the virtues and vices that make up the British character, we have one vice, at least, that Americans ought to view with sympathy. For they appear to be the only people who share it with us. I mean our worship of the antique. I do not refer to beauty or even historical association. I refer to age, to a quantity of years.
