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

Arnold Bennett 141 quotes

Which of us is not saying to himself which of us has not been saying to himself all his life: ' I shall alter that when I have a little more time'? We never shall have any more time. We have, and we have always had, all the time there is.

Your own mind is a sacred enclosure into which nothing harmful can enter except by your permission.

Happiness includes chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full honest effort. No one can possibly be satisfied and no one can be happy who feels that in some paramount affairs he failed to take up the challenge of life.

Of all the inhabitants of the inferno, none but Lucifer knows that hell is hell, and the secret function of purgatory is to make of heaven an effective reality.

A first-rate organizer is never in a hurry. He is never late. He always keeps up his sleeve a margin for the unexpected.

We need a sense of the value of time - that is, of the best way to divide one's time into one's various activities.

Arnold Bennett 141 quotes

There can be no knowledge with...

There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.

If egotism means a terrific interest in one's self, egotism is absolutely essential to efficient living.

Journalists say a thing that they know isn't true, in the hope that if they keep on saying it long enough it will be true.

Much ingenuity with a little money is vastly more profitable and amusing than much money without ingenuity.

Arnold Bennett 141 quotes

To the artist is sometimes granted a sudden, transient insight which serves in this matter for experience. A flash, and where previously the brain held a dead fact, the soul grasps a living truth! At moments we are all artists.

You wake up in the morning, and your purse is magically filled with twenty-four hours of un-manufactured tissue of the universe of your life! It is yours. It is the most precious of possessions. No one can take it from you. And no one receives either more or less than you receive.

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

Arnold Bennett 141 quotes

The pleasure of doing a thing ...

The pleasure of doing a thing in the same way at the same time every day, and savoring it, should be noted.

Arnold Bennett 141 quotes

It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is from the top.

Arnold Bennett 141 quotes

The best cure for worry, depression, melancholy, brooding, is to go deliberately forth and try to lift with one's sympathy the gloom of somebody else.

Good taste is better than bad taste, but bad taste is better than no taste.

Arnold Bennett 141 quotes

Every scene, even the commones...

Every scene, even the commonest, is wonderful, if only one can detach oneself, casting off all memory of use and custom, and behold it (as it were) for the first time; in its right, authentic colors; without making comparisons. Cherish and burnish this faculty of seeing crudely, simply, artlessly, ignorantly; of seeing like a baby or a lunatic, who lives each moment by itself and tarnishes by the present no remembrance of the past.

Arnold Bennett 141 quotes

It is within the experience of...

It is within the experience of everyone that when pleasure and pain reach a certain intensity they are indistinguishable.
