Quote by Lisa Schroeder

Guilt reminds me of a stray cat. You chase it away and yet, it comes back when you least expect it. If you let yourself feel pity for it and feed the thing, it parks its ugly, puny, lonely-for-attention butt on your doormat and won't go away. Scat kitty cat, scat. I don't need you sitting around here like that.

Guilt reminds me of a stray cat. You chase it away and yet,

Summary

This quote uses the metaphor of guilt being compared to a stray cat to illustrate how guilt can persistently linger in our minds. Similar to a stray cat that keeps returning, guilt resurfaces unexpectedly, even when we try to push it away. The quote emphasizes the importance of not indulging in self-pity or granting undue attention to guilt. By rejecting guilt and not allowing it to take hold, we can prevent it from haunting us and disrupt our peace of mind.

The vigour of civilised societies is preserved by the widespread sense that high aims are worth while. Vigorous societies harbour a certain extravagance of objectives, so that men wander beyond the safe provision of personal gratifications. All strong interests easily become impersonal, the love of a good job well done. There is a sense of harmony about such an accomplishment, the Peace brought by something worth while. Such personal gratification arises from aim beyond personality.
