“If you feel an aversion to a person--that is, an unexplainable feeling of dislike or distaste for him--it is the most dangerous time for a proper opinion of him, his character, or his actions. Any judgment you pass upon him at such a time is bound to be unfair.” IfsFeelsPersonsCharacterFeelingsActionJusticeOpinionDangerousJudgmentBoundsDislikeUnfairAversionDistasteUnexplainable Book:The Hidden Power of Kindness: A Practical Handbook for Souls who Dare to Transform the World, One Deed at a Time Source: The Hidden Power of Kindness: A Practical Handbook for Souls who Dare to Transform the World, One Deed at a Time
“To be happy one must be (a) well fed, unhounded by sordid cares, at ease in Zion, (b) full of a comfortable feeling of superiority to the masses of one's fellow men, and (c) delicately and unceasingly amused according to one's taste. It is my contention that, if this definition be accepted, there is no country in the world wherein a man constituted as I am - a man of my peculiar weakness, vanities, appetites, and aversions - can be so happy as he can be in the United States.” IfsMenWorldWellsCountryStatesFeelingsCareUnitedUnited StatesTasteComfortableMassWeaknessFellowsDefinitionsAcceptedVanityEaseFedsAppetitePeculiarSuperiorityFellow ManAmusedAversionContentionZion Author:H.
