More From Samuel Smiles

Everything that from eternity has happened in heaven and earth, the life of god and all the deeds of time simply are the struggles for spirit to know itself, to find itself, be for itself, and finally unite itself to itself; it is alienated and divided, but only so as to be able thus to find itself and return to itself...as existing in an individual form, this liberation is called 'i'; as developed to its totality, it is free spirit; as feeling, it is love; and as enjoyment, it is blessedness.

Fortune has often been blamed for her blindness; but fortune is not so blind as men are. those who look into practical life will find that fortune is usually on the side of the industrious, as the winds and waves are on the side of the best navigators.

Ought a man to be confident that he deserves his good fortune, and think much of himself when he has overcome a nation, or city, or empire; or does fortune give this as an example to the victor also of the uncertainty of human affairs, which never continue in one stay? for what time can there be for us mortals to feel confident, when our victories over others especially compel us to dread fortune, and while we are exulting, the reflection that the fatal day comes now to one, now to another, in regular succession, dashes our joy.

Gratitude is the confidence in life itself... as gratitude grows it gives rise to joy. we experience the courage to rejoice in our own good fortune and in the good fortune of others... we can be joyful for people we love, for moments of goodness, for sunlight and trees, and for the very breath within our lungs. like an innocent child, we can rejoice in life itself, in being alive.

The first thing that happens is the cleansing of the former character. i don't think a lot of actors talk about it, but there is usually a process where you essentially purge yourself of the character played prior to the movie. then you want to think about what the character represents, and you write down all of the elements about this character and then take the time to find some synchronicity and start breathing the character.

I should add that it is open to debate whether what we call the writing of history these days is truly scientific.

I think i became a better writer after i started writing for the new yorker. well, i know i did. and part of it was having my new yorker editor and part of it is that was when i started really going on tour and reading things in front of an audience 30 times and then going back in the room and rewriting it and reading it and rewriting it. so you really get the rhythm of the sentences down and you really get the flow down and you get rid of stuff that's not important.
