Character and Conduct – 20 July – Thoughts

IF we are not responsible for the thoughts that pass our doors, we are at least responsible for those we admit and entertain.

CHARLES B. NEWCOMB

THE pleasantest things in the world are pleasant thoughts, and the great art in life is to have as many of them as possible.

BOVÉE

WE lose vigour through thinking continually the same set of thoughts.  New thought is new life.

PRENTICE MULFORD

These quotes are from ‘Character and Conduct’ A selection of helpful thoughts from various authors arranged for daily reading.

Collected by Constance M Whishaw and first published in 1905 as a follow up to her volume of Daily Readings for members of the Being and Doing Guild who asked for an additional volume

In her preface Whishaw writes:

‘This collection of noble thoughts expressed by men and women of past and present ages who have endeavoured to leave the world a little better than they found it.’

It is my hope in publishing them here readers may be inspired to imitate the example of the authors.
