John Galsworthy
» Action » “A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.”
» Eyes » “One’s eyes are what one is, one’s mouth is what one becomes.”
» Future » “If you do not think about your future, you cannot have one.”
» Ideals and Idealism » “Idealism increases in direct proportion to one’s distance from the problem.”
» Newspapers » “Headlines twice the size of the events.”
» Pity » “When Man evolved Pity, he did a queer thing — deprived himself of the power of living life as it is without wishing it to become something different.”
» Politicians and Politics » “There is one rule for politicians all over the world: Don’t say in Power what you say in opposition; if you do, you only have to carry out what the other fellows have found impossible.”
» Welfare » “Religion was nearly dead because there was no longer real belief in future life; but something was struggling to take its place — service — social service — the ants creed, the bees creed.”
