Many a man has a kind of a kaleidoscope, where the bits of broken glass are his own merits and fortunes; and they fall into harmonious arrangements, and delight him, often most mischievously and to his ultimate detriment; but they are a present pleasure.

More From Arthur Helps

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. there are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. and then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. the world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: what's up with this glass? excuse me? excuse me? this is my glass? i don't think so. my glass was full! and it was a bigger glass! who's been pinching my beer?

And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass) or who had no glass at all, because he was at the back of the crowd and had failed to catch the barman's eye.

It is pleasure that lurks in the practice of every one of your virtues. man performs actions because they are good for him, and when they are good for other people as well they are thought virtuous: if he finds pleasure in helping others he is benevolent; if he finds pleasure in working for society he is public-spirited; but it is for your private pleasure that you give twopence to a beggar as much as it is for my private pleasure that i drink another whiskey and soda. i, less of a humbug than you, neither applaud myself for my pleasure nor demand your admiration.

There is a time in our lives, usually in mid-life, when a woman has to make a decision - possibly the most important psychic decision of her future life - and that is, whether to be bitter or not. women often come to this in their late thirties or early forties. they are at the point where they are full up to their ears with everything and they've "had it" and "the last straw has broken the camel's back" and they're "pissed off and pooped out." their dreams of their twenties may be lying in a crumple. there may be broken hearts, broken marriages, broken promises.

He said that faith is like a glass of water. when you're young, the glass is small, and it's easy to fill up. but the older you get, the bigger the glass gets, and the same amount of liquid doesn't fill it anymore. periodically, the glass has to be refilled.

The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. once god (or satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance ... or change. once such incantatory phrases as "we see now through a glass darkly" and "mysterious are the ways". he chooses his wonders to perform" are mastered, logic can be happily tossed out the window". religious mania is one of the few infallible ways of responding to the world's vagaries, because it totally eliminates pure accident. to the true religious maniac, it's all on purpose.
