Quote by Virginia Woolf

We all indulge in the strange, pleasant process called thinking, but when it comes to saying, even to someone opposite, what we think, then how little we are able to convey! The phantom is through the mind and out of the window before we can lay salt on

We all indulge in the strange, pleasant process called think

Summary

This quote highlights the challenge of expressing our thoughts and ideas accurately in spoken words. While we often enjoy the act of thinking, when it comes to articulating our thoughts to others, our ability to convey them falls short. It suggests that our ideas and opinions vanish like phantoms, escaping our minds and losing their essence before we can effectively communicate them. The quote also implies that verbal communication may not fully capture the depth and nuances of our thoughts, emphasizing the limitations of language in conveying our true intentions.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams.

The contented and economically comfortable have a very discriminating view of government. Nobody is ever indignant about bailing out failed banks and failed savings and loans associations. But when taxes must be paid for the lower middle class and poor, the government assumes an aspect of wickedness.
