Today was the birthday of Hugh Walpole, British writer, born in 1884.
- Don't play for safety - it's the most dangerous thing in the world.
- Happiness comes from... some curious adjustment to life.
- In all science, error precedes the truth, and it is better it should go first than last.
- The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvellous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.
- Tisn't life that matters! 'Tis the courage you bring to it.
- The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and a thousand other things well.
- The happiest people I have known in this world have been the Saints-and, after these, the men and women who get immediate and conscious enjoyment from little things.
- Art and life ought to be hurriedly remarried and brought to live together.
- Men are often capable of greater things than they perform.
- I almost think there is no wisdom comparable to that of exchanging what is called the realities of life for dreams.
