Ernest Dimnet
» America » “Americans cannot realize how many chances for mental improvement they lose by their inveterate habit of keeping six conversations when there are twelve in the room.”
» Happiness » “The happiness of most people we know is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition of slowly destructive little things.”
» History and Historians » “The history of the past interests us only in so far as it illuminates the history of the present.”
» Ideas » “Ideas are the roots of creation.”
» Life and Living » “Life is a succession of lessons enforced by immediate reward, or, oftener, by immediate chastisement.”
