Because her instinct has told...

Because her instinct has told her, or because she has been reliably informed, the faded virgin knows that the supreme joys are not for her; she knows by a process of the intellect; but she can feel her deprivation no more than the young mother can feel the hardship of the virgin's lot.

Great wealth may be to its ow...

Great wealth may be to its owner a blessing or a curse. Alas! I fear it is too often the latter. It hardens the heart, blunts the finer susceptibilities, and transforms into a fiend what under more favourable circumstances might have been a human being.

Literature exists so that where one man has lived finely ten thousand may afterward live finely

A sense of the value of time....

A sense of the value of time... is an essential preliminary to efficient work; it is the only method of avoiding hurry.

It is difficult to make a reputation, but is even more difficult seriously to mar a reputation once properly made --- so faithful is the public.

Arnold Bennett 141 quotes

The manner in which one singl...

The manner in which one single ray of light, one single precious hint, will clarify and energize the whole mental life of him who receives it, is among the most wonderful and heavenly of intellectual phenomena.

Arnold Bennett 141 quotes

The man who begins to go to b...

The man who begins to go to bed forty minutes before he opens his bedroom door is bored; that is to say, he is not living.

The chances are that you have already come to believe that happiness is unattainable. But men have attained it. And they have attained it by realizing that happiness does not spring from the procuring of physical or mental pleasure, but from the development of reason and the adjustment of conduct to principles.

The test of a first-rate work, and a test of your sincerity in calling it a first-rate work, is that you finish it.

Being a husband is a whole time job. That is why so many husbands fail.
They cannot give their entire attention to it.

Arnold Bennett 141 quotes

The chief beauty about time i...

The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.

Arnold Bennett 141 quotes

Falsehood often lurks upon the tongue of him, who, by self-praise, seeks to enhance his value in the eyes of others.

The only way to write a great book is to write it with the eyes of a child who sees things for the first time.

Arnold Bennett 141 quotes

I think it rather fine, this ...

I think it rather fine, this necessity for the tense bracing of the will before anything worth doing can be done. I rather like it myself. I feel it is to be the chief thing that differentiates me from the cat by the fire.

The proper, wise balancing of...

The proper, wise balancing of one's whole life may depend upon the feasibility of a cup of tea at an unusual hour.

Far from the madding crowd is...

Far from the madding crowd is a mistake on a honeymoon.... Solitude! Wherever you are, if you're on a honeymoon, you'll get quite as much solitude as is good for you every twenty-four hours. Constant change and distraction -- that's what wants arranging for. Solitude will arrange itself.

Arnold Bennett 141 quotes

If you've ever really been poor you remain poor at heart all your life. I've often walked when I could very well afford to take a taxi because I simply couldn't bring myself to waste the shilling it would cost.

A man of sixty has spent twenty years in bed and over three years in eating.

Make love to every woman you meet; if you get five per cent of your outlay it's a good investment.

Worry is evidence of an ill-controlled brain; it is merely a stupid waste of time in unpleasantness.
