Quote by William Shakespeare

What's gone and what's past help should be past grief

What's gone and what's past help should be past grief

Summary

This quote implies that there is no point in dwelling on or mourning over things that are already lost or cannot be changed. It suggests that it is more beneficial to let go of the past and focus on the present or future. Acknowledging that certain things are beyond our control or ability to fix allows for personal growth and the opportunity to redirect energy towards more productive activities, rather than being consumed by remorse or sadness.

Individualism, as a definition of holding to personal ideals

Individualism, as a definition of holding to personal ideals, is classed as obstinacy and anti-social. Inevitably we run point blank into the evils of compromise. When compromise enters our moral fiber, it spreads like a cancerous growth. We think we plan adequate safeguards around areas in which we contemplate yielding our standards, but once we lower the fence and break our strong will to do right, come what may, we expose ourselves to forces that spread beyond control. Compromise always starts on some rather insignificant principle. The dangers of yielding seem negligible and we usually risk those things first where observation and detection by others is difficult. We thus seek to avoid censure and discipline. In a short time we find ourselves trading our principles for false values and doing it in the black market of human relationships. . . .

Don't be afraid of showing affection. Be warm and tender, thoughtful and affectionate. Men are more helped by sympathy than by service. Love is more than money, and a kind word will give more pleasure than a present.
