"Learn to… be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not." ― Henri Frederic Amiel Topic(s): Good More From Henri Frederic Amiel "Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt." "Woman is the salvation or the destruction of the family. She carries its destiny in the folds of her mantle." "Common sense is the measure of the possible; it is composed of experience and prevision; it is calculation applied to life." More In Good "I’m not good at future planning. I don’t plan at all. I don’t know what I’m doing tomorrow. I don’t have a day planner and I don’t have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future."― Heath Ledger "If I hold back, I’m no good. I’m no good. I’d rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time."― Janis Joplin "The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."― Herodotus
