Quotes by Arthur Christopher Benson

I never enter a new company without the hope that I may discover a friend perhaps the friend sitting there with an expectant smile. That hope survives a thousand disappointments.

Congenial labor is the secret of happiness.

There remain times when one can only endure. One lives on one doesnt die and the only thing that one can do is to fill ones mind and time as far as possible with the concerns of other people. It doesnt bring immediate peace but it brings the dawn nearer.

It seems sometimes as if one were powerless to do any more from within to overcome troubles and that help must come from without.

There remain times when one can only endure. One lives on one doesnt die and the only thing that one can do is to fill ones mind and time as far as possible with the concerns of other people. It doesnt bring immediate peace but it brings the dawn nearer.

The moment that any life however good stifles you you may be sure it isnt your real life.

Congenial labor is essence of happiness.
