“Truth should be the first lesson of the child and the last aspiration of manhood; for it has been well said that the inquiry of truth, which is the love-making of it, the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it, and the belief of truth, which is the enjoying of it, is the sovereign good of human nature.” ShouldFirstsHumansWellsChildrenHas BeensSaidTruthLastsBeliefEnjoyHuman NatureLessonsAspirationSovereignManhoodInquiryLove MakingWell Said Book:Literary recreations and miscellanies Source: Literary recreations and miscellanies
“To me it seems to be important to believe people to be good even if they tend to be bad, because your own joy and happiness in life is increased that way, and the pleasures of the belief outweigh the occasional disappointments. To be a cynic about people works just the other way around and makes you incapable about enjoying the good things.” PeopleIfsWayBelieveImportantSeemsLife IsJoyBeliefEnjoyPleasureGood ThingsDisappointmentBe GoodIncapableOccasionalLife HappinessJoy And HappinessCynic Book:It's Been a Good Life Source: It's Been a Good Life
“The disassociation between inner belief and outer behaviour allowed many people to enjoy a sense of retaining their inner decency while at the same time not risking any loss of livelihood, any compromise over career ambitions, let alone any potentially more sanctions; hence never revealing any signs of disagreement or openly showing anything less than apparently full commitment to the regime and its policies” PeopleBeliefEnjoyLossCareersPolicyAmbitionCommitmentCompromiseRegimesBehaviourRevealingDecencyDisagreementSanctionsLivelihoodRetaining Author:Mary Fulbrook
“A crowd of grade-three thinkers, all shouting the same thing, all warming their hands at the fire of their own prejudices, will not thank you for pointing out the contradictions in their beliefs.

“Frankly, most of my friends hold very different political beliefs.

“There are a host of ethnic minorities in China but they often have a weak sense of identity and are relatively small in total number.

“It is possible for two people who have wide differences of preference and opinion, of habits, of teaching, of training, of background and belief to enjoy the company of each other in many ways. Indeed, a diversity of friendships is one of life's real enrichments. To learn of the goodness of those who are unlike-their worth, their sincerity, their good hearts, their good minds, their good company-is rich and rewarding. It is wonderful to have a wide range of choice friends who can be counted on, friends who can be enjoyed and loved and trusted.

“The essayist is a self-liberated man, sustained by the childish belief that everything he thinks about, everything that happens to him, is of general interest. He is a fellow who thoroughly enjoys his work, just as people who enjoy bird walks enjoys theirs. Each new excursion of the essayist, each new 'attempt,' differs from the last and takes him into new country. This delights him. Only a person who is congenitally self-centered has the effrontery and the stamina to write essays.” PeopleThinkingMenWritingPersonsSelfCountryHappensLastsBeliefEnjoyInterestWalksBirdFellowsDelightEssaysSelf CenteredLiberatedStaminaEssayistsExcursions Book:Essays of E.
