Text Quotes
Good character is property. It is the noblest of all possessions (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Those who aren’t making mistakes probably aren’t making anything (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
There is no act, however trivial, but has its train of consequences (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Self-control is only courage under another form. It may also be regarded as the primary essence of character (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The possession of a library, or the free use of it, no more constitutes learning, than the possession of wealth constitutes generosity (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
It is not ease, but effort-not facility, but difficulty, makes men. There is, perhaps, no station in life in which difficulties have not to be encountered and overcome before any decided measure of success can be achieved (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
It is the close observation of little things which is the secret of success in business, in art, in science, and in every pursuit in life. Human knowledge is but an accumulation of small facts made by successive generations of men--the little bits of knowledge and experience carefully treasured up by them growing at length into a mighty pyramid (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The influence of woman is the same everywhere. Her condition influences the morals, manners, and character of the people of all countries. Where she is debased, society is debased; where she is morally pure and enlightened, society will be proportionately elevated (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
For want of self-restraint many men are engaged all their lives in fighting with difficulties of their own making, and rendering success impossible by their own cross-grained ungentleness; whilst others, it may be much less gifted, make their way and achieve success by simple patience, equanimity, and self-control (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. But all play and no work makes him something worse. (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The wise man... if he would live at peace with others, he will bear and forbear. (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The highest culture is not obtained from the teacher when at school or college, so much as by our ever diligent self-education when we become men. (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The principal industrial excellence of the English people lay in their capacity of present exertion for a distant object. (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Opportunities ... fall in the way of every man who is resolved to take advantage of them. (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery. (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The best-regulated home is always that in which the discipline is the most perfect, and yet where it is the least felt. Moral discipline acts with the force of a law of nature. (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Progress, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step. (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Time is of no account with great thoughts. They are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
It is possible that the scrupulously honest man may not grow rich so fast as the unscrupulous and dishonest one; but the success will be of a truer kind, earned without fraud or injustice. And even though a man should for a time be unsuccessful, still he must be honest: better lose all and save character. For character is itself a fortune. . . . (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
It is idleness that is the curse of man - not labour. Idleness eats the heart out of men as of nations, and consumes them as rust does iron. (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Hope is the companion of power, and the mother of success; for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failures. Precept, study, advice, and example could never have taught them so well as failure has done (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance or medicine, but lost time is gone forever (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Practical wisdom is only to be learned in the school of experience. Precepts and instruction are useful so far as they go, but, without the discipline of real life, they remain of the nature of theory only (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The experience gathered from books, though often valuable, is but the nature of learning; whereas the experience gained from actual life is one of the nature of wisdom (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The very greatest things - great thoughts, discoveries, inventions - have usually been nurtured in hardship, often pondered over in sorrow, and at length established with difficulty (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The wise man. If he would live at peace with others, he will bear and forbear (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Wisdom and understanding can only become the possession of individual men by travelling the old road of observation, attention, perseverance, and industry (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
