“In a large congregation, while there is a wide diversification of interest, it is also true that there are only a few basic human problems. It must also be taken into consideration that people are people regardless of who they are or what their backgrounds may be. There are certain deep universal appeals to human interest and to these human nature always responds.” PeopleHumansMayProblemCertainInterestTakenHuman NatureUniversalWideBackgroundsAppealsConsiderationCongregationDiversificationHuman Problems Book:A Guide to Confident Living Source: A Guide to Confident Living
“He who expects from a great name in politics, in philosophy, in art, equal greatness in other things, is little versed in human nature. Our strength lies in our weakness. The learned in books are ignorant of the world. He who is ignorant of books is often well acquainted with other things; for life is of the same length in the learned and unlearned; the mind cannot be idle; if it is not taken up with one thing, it attends to another through choice or necessity; and the degree of previous capacity in one class or another is a mere lottery.” IfsWorldMindHumansWellsLittlesArtBookPhilosophyLife IsLyingChoicesNamesClassTakenOne ThingHuman NatureGreatnessEqualDegreesWeaknessCapacityMereIgnorantLengthIdleLotteryVersatility Book:Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated)

“Narration is as much a part of human nature as breath and the circulation of the blood.... storytelling is intrinsic to biological time, which we cannot escape. Life, Pascal said, is like living in a prison from which every day fellow prisoners are taken away to be executed. We are all, like Scheherazade, under sentence of death, and we all think of our lives as narratives, with beginnings, middles and ends.” ThinkingHumansSaidEndsTakenOur LivesBloodHuman NatureBreathsFellowsPrisonSentencesStorytellingNarrativePrisonerCirculationNarrationPascal Author:A.
