“You the rich are no whit more attractive or capable than you who were poor and struggling a few years back. But when before you plodded lonely and unappreciated, now the glamour of the motor and the smart apartment surrounds you with a tangible glory. It is amazing how many friends look you up, call you by name, and extol you, who were once a little timid, or indifferent, or utterly neglectful in your time of dire poverty. One has true friends when one is poor and no riches can be greater than that. They are not so obvious when one is rich.” YearsLooksLittlesSuccessNamesFriendshipWealthPoorPovertyStruggleRichGreaterCapableSmartGloryLonelyObviousRichesAttractiveSurroundApartmentIndifferentTrue FriendMotorGlamourTangibleMany Friends Author:Alice Foote MacDougall
“... it is a lonely programme. The very virtues you cultivate become walls that inevitably separate you from your kind.... A new danger comes to your soul, and intolerance and impatience with those who are as you have been all but destroy that which you have taken such pains to build up. Not alone are there spiritual barriers between you and the friends that you have, but your business training has made your mind incisive. In the swift rush of business you have no time for small debates and petty dilemmas.” MindKindHas BeensMadeSoulPainSpiritualBusinessVirtueTakenLonelinessDangerWallTrainingLonelyDebateYour SoulBarriersIntolerancePettyNot AloneImpatienceDilemmaProgrammes Author:Alice Foote MacDougall
