8 Lessons

“I have grown to believe:

That the one thing worth aiming at is simplicity of heart and life;

That one’s relations with others should be direct, not diplomatic;

That power leaves a bitter taste in the mouth;

That meanness and hardness and coldness are the unforgivable sins;

That conventionality is the mother of dreariness;

That pleasure exists not in the virtue of material conditions, but in the joyful heart;

That the world is a very interesting and beautiful place;

That congenial labor is the secret of happiness.”

~ Arthur Christopher Benson
