Happiness is a thing to be practiced, like the violin. | Happiness | 101What we see depends mainly on what we look for. | | 102Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time. | Nature, Time | 103A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work. | Wisdom, Work | 104Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books. | Nature | 105A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn. | Education | 106The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn. | | 107Our duty is to believe that for which we have sufficient evidence, and to suspend our judgment when we have not. | | 108Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven. | Nature | 109Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it. | | 110When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace. | Peace | 111If we are ever in doubt about what to do, it is a good rule to ask ourselves what we shall wish on the morrow that we had done. | | 112We often hear of people breaking down from overwork, but in nine out of ten they are really suffering from worry or anxiety. | | 113 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
