“There are many pleasant fictions of the law in constant operation, but there is not one so pleasant or practically humorous as that which supposes every man to be of equal value in its impartial eye, and the benefits of all laws to be equally attainable by all men, without the smallest reference to the furniture of their pockets.” MenEyeLawValuesFictionEqualBenefitsHumorousConstantEvery ManOperationsPleasantPocketsSmallestFurniture Book:The Life And Adventures Of Nicholas Nickleby Source: The Life And Adventures Of Nicholas Nickleby
“What is the most rigorous law of our being? Growth. No smallest atom of our moral, mental, or physical structure can stand still a year. It grows--it must grow smaller or larger, better or worse--it cannot stand still. In other words, we change--and must change, constantly, and keep on changing as long as we live. What, then, is the true Gospel of consistency? Change. Who is the really consistent man? The man who changes. Since change is the law of his being, he cannot be consistent if he's stuck in a rut.” IfsMenYearsLongStillsLawGrowsGrowthMoralHe ManStructureStuckConsistentAtomsSmallestConsistencyRutsStuck In A Rut Author:Mark Twain
