Arthur Ashe (1943-1993, African-American tennis player) Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves.

Madame Marie Curie (1867-1934, Polish-born French physicist) SELF-CONFLICT Whatever you condemn, you have done yourself.

Kathleen Norris (1880-1966, American novelist) A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888, American author) If a man doesn't delight in himself and the force in him and feel that he and it are wonders, how is all life to become important to him? Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941 American writer) I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self. Aristotle (BC 384-322, Greek philosopher) Prudent, cautious self-control, is wisdom's root. Robert Burns (1759-1796, Scottish poet) I never prod my nose into other man's porridge. Miguel De Cervantes (1547-1616, Spanish novelist, dramatist, poet) He who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior. Confucius (BC 551-479, Chinese ethical teacher, philosopher) The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.

Daniel Day-Lewis (1958-, British-born American actor) SELF-DENIAL Self-denial is painful for a moment, but very agreeable in the end. Jane Taylor Few men make themselves masters of the things they write or speak. John Selden (1584-1654, British jurist, statesman) Self-denial is not a virtue, it is only the effect of prudence on rascality. George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950, Irish-born British dramatist) Self-denial is indispensable to a strong character, and the highest kind comes from a religious stock. Theodore Parker (1810-1860, American minister) The same people who can deny others everything are famous for refusing themselves nothing. Leigh Hunt (1784-1859, British poet, essayist) Every extreme attitude is a fight from the self. Eric Hoffer (1902-1983, American author, philosopher) SELF-DETERMINATION It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through. Zig Ziglar (1926-, American sales trainer, author, motivational speaker) I will always stay hungry, never satisfied with current accomplishments. Arnold Schwarzenegger (1947-, Austrian-born American actor, author, director, restaurateur) My will shall shape my future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me, or I can be lost in a maze. My choice, my responsibility, win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny. Elaine Maxwell

Self-words post by English-culture SELF-DISCIPLINE Doing your best is more important than being the best. Author Unknown A mind which really lays hold of a subject is not easily detached from it. Ida Tarbell If someone transports dung and does not eat it, it should not be concluded that he is an honest person. Taiwanese Proverb If you can command yourself, you can command the world. Chinese Proverb (Sayings of Chinese origin) If you are willing to discipline yourself, the physical universe won't need to discipline you. Leonard Orr Not being able to govern events, I govern myself, and apply myself to them if they will not apply themselves to me.

Julia Child (1912-2004, American gourmet cook, author, and television personality) SELF-DISCORVERY No one is more interesting to anybody than is that mysterious character we all call me, which is why self-liberation, self-actualization, self-transcendence, etc., are the most exciting games in town. Robert Wilson (1941-, American theater director, designer) When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves. William A. Ward We discover in ourselves what others hide from us, and we recognize in others what we hide from ourselves. Luc de Clapiers de Vauvenargues Some people say they haven't yet found themselves. But the self is not something one finds; it is something one creates. Thomas Szasz (1920-, American psychiatrist) People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and they pass themselves by without wondering. St. Augustine (354-430, Numidian-born bishop of Hippo, theologian) Lose yourself wholly; and the more you lose, the more you will find.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962, American First Lady, columnist, lecturer, humanitarian) Everything changes when you change. Jim Rohn (American businessman, author, speaker, philosopher) The person who God shows a treasure to must dig it out himself. Czechoslovakian Proverb (Sayings of Czech origin) One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better. Blaise Pascal (1623-1662, French scientist, religious philosopher) No thinker's thoughts give me as much pleasure as my own. Of course, this does not prove anything in their favor; but on the other hand, I would be foolish to neglect fruits that are tasteful just because they grow on my own tree. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900, German philosopher) No one has ever learned fully to know themselves. Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749-1832, German poet, dramatist, novelist) Look into the depths of your own soul and learn first to know yourself, then you will understand why this illness was bound to come upon you and perhaps you will thenceforth avoid falling ill. Sigmund Freud (1856-1939, Austrian physician, founder of Psychoanalysis) Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle. Lewis Carroll (1832-1898, British writer, mathematician) Let's dare to be ourselves, for we do that better than anyone else. Shirley Briggs SELF-DOUBT Our self-conceit sustains, and always must sustain us. Samuel Butler (1612-1680, British poet, satirist) SELF-EDUCATION People think of education as something that they can finish. Isaac Asimov School can provide you an education and university can give you a culture, but self-knowledge and self-learning can help you to make a fortune. Carl William Brown Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is. The only function of a school is to make self-education easier; failing that, it does nothing. Isaac Asimov The first thing a student should understand to have success is that of becoming a self-taught man. Carl William Brown Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence. Robert Frost SELF-ESTEEM SELF-ESTEEM controls PERFORMANCE/REALITY which stimulate SELF-TALK which reinforces SELF-ESTEEM. This cycle can work positively or negatively and is greatly influenced by the self-talk. (I knew I wasn't good at..., next time I'll practice and do better! Author Unknown All the extraordinary men I have known were extraordinary in their own estimation. Woodrow T. Wilson (1856-1924, American President (28th)) Blessed are they who heal us of self-despising. Of all services which can be done to man, I know of none more precious. Read the full article

Odds & Ends: September 29, 2023

In memory of Sherman Ray. Sherman Ray was my tailor here in Tulsa. He passed away last Sunday at the age of 102. Sherman had an interesting life: he learned the craft of tailoring when he was a boy in Poland, survived the Holocaust, and wound up in Oklahoma, where he started a thriving shop from which he made custom suits for oil executives and lawyers. He worked at his shop every day for over 50 years, even as he approached the century mark in age, until COVID shut the world down. A few years ago, we made a little film about Sherman’s life. It’s really good — I highly recommend watching! Civility: Overrated or Underrated? I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Alexandra Hudson about her forthcoming book, The Soul of Civility. Look for the episode to drop here in a few weeks. In the meantime, Alexandra is hosting a free online forum on October 9 to discuss civility in the 21st century. Slated speakers include Tyler Cowen, Jonathan Haidt, and Francis Fukuyama. “How Modern Life Killed the Hobby.” Hobbies are things you do for the joy of doing it. They allow you to experience the richness of leisure, which the ancients believed was a key to a fulfilling life. But fewer people seem to be into hobbies, not only because screens have taken up more and more of our free time, but because they’re so easy to instrumentalize in the modern day. As this article from The Independent explores, it’s tempting to share your hobby on social media, but there are dangers to doing so. Its incentives push people to do their hobby, to perform their hobby, to garner likes rather than for the sake of the activity itself. Pretty soon, sponsors start calling. The hobby is making money. What was once a hobby is now a side hustle.  If you’re looking for a hobby to do for kicks, we’ve got 75+ hobby ideas here. From Here to Eternity by James Jones. I read From Here to Eternity a few years ago at my father-in-law’s suggestion. It’s one of his favorite books. I really enjoyed it. It’s set in Hawaii during the few months leading up to Pearl Harbor. It’s a great story that explores themes like bureaucracy, conformity, love, betrayal, and social status. The movie adaptation from 1953 happens to have made it onto our top 100 movies for men list too, so be sure to check that out as well.  Quote of the Week There is nothing more to be esteemed than a manly firmness and decision of character. I like a person who knows his own mind and sticks to it; who sees at once what, in given circumstances, is to be done, and does it. —William Hazlitt The post Odds & Ends: September 29, 2023 appeared first on The Art of Manliness. http://dlvr.it/Swn70n

20 Best Classic Friendship Quotes in English Literature

English literature has gifted us with numerous unforgettable quotes that delve into the heart of what it means to be friends. From the passages of celebrated novels and plays to the wisdom of renowned authors, these classic lines can serve as a warm reminder of the importance of friendship. In this article, we explore 20 of the best classic friendship quotes in English literature and the timeless lessons in companionship they teach.

"Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love." - Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey Jane Austen’s novels often showcase the true value of friendship. Northanger Abbey reminds us that friends can help soothe the pain of lost love, offering comfort through vulnerability.

"It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages." - Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human Nietzsche's wisdom in this celebrated quote suggests that a strong foundation of friendship is paramount to a successful relationship, reinforcing the essential role that friends play in our lives.

"The only way to have a friend is to be one." - Ralph Waldo Emerson Emerson's renowned words remind us that the essence of friendship is reciprocity, and we must actively embody the values we wish to see in our friends.

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival." - C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves C.S. Lewis makes the case that while friendship might not contribute directly to our survival, it enriches our existence. For many, this adds a profound sense of purpose to life.

"A friend may be nature's most magnificent creation." - Ralph Waldo Emerson This captivating quote reiterates the significance of friendship, presenting it as a cherished gift from nature itself.

"To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind." - William Hazlitt, Table-Talk Hazlitt recognizes the moral and mental fortitude required to maintain long-lasting friendships, which often defy life's obstacles and challenges.

"I would rather have one good, hearty laugh with a friend than cry all my tears alone." - Louisa May Alcott, An Old-fashioned Girl Alcott's heartfelt words highlight the importance of shared joy in friendship, demonstrating how companions can lift each other up during trying times.

"Books, like friends, should be few and well chosen. Like friends, too, we should return to them again and again for, like true friends, they will never fail us—never cease to instruct—never cloy." - Charles Caleb Colton, Lacon Colton's thoughtful comparison draws parallels between the joys found in friendship and literature, both of which provide comfort, guidance, and endless enjoyment.

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers." - Charles William Eliot This beautiful metaphor illustrates the cherished solace friends can offer, equating their reliability and sagacity to that of books.

"All loss, all pain is particular. The universe remains to the heart unhurt… The pangs of friendship…the pang of love, which never wrung a generous heart, pass, and leave no language for themselves. Literature is but the shadow of good talk; but the drift of conversation is better than the most studied lines." - Ralph Waldo Emerson, Letters and Social Aims Emerson's words accentuate how language, including literature, can fall short when attempting to describe friendship and the emotions associated with it. Yet, our conversations with friends help illuminate the depths of these feelings.

We will continue exploring ten more classic friendship quotes in English literature in the next article, building upon our understanding of friendship's significance and the profound effects our friends have on our lives.

When I am in the country, I wish to vegetate like the country... I go out of town in order to forget the town and all that is in it. There are those who for this purpose go to watering-places, and carry the metropolis with them. I like more elbow-room, and fewer incumbrances.

- William Hazlitt, On Going a Journey
