Idleness
[H]ad I my life to arrange over again, I would do again as I have done. Only those who have lived at the full stretch seven days a week for a long time can appreciate the full beauty of a regular recurring idleness. Moreover, I am ageing. And it is a question of age. In cases of a bounding youth and exceptional energy and desire for effort I should say unhesitatingly: Keep going, day in, day out.

#AgeOfAir #ArnoldBennett #LifeBalance #QuotesA cup of tea
These details may seem trivial to the foolish, but to the thoughtful they will not seem trivial. The proper, wise balancing of one’s whole life may depend upon the feasibility of a cup of tea at an unusual hour.
~ Arnold Bennettslip:4a1171.
#ArnoldBennett #GettingThingsDone #QuotesJust time
[I]t has been said that time is money. That proverb understates the case. Time is a great deal more than money. If you have time you can obtain money—usually. But though you have the wealth of a cloak-room attendant at the Carlton Hotel, you cannot buy yourself a minute more time than I have, or the cat by the fire has.

You have to live on this twenty-four hours of daily time. Out of it you have to spin health, pleasure, money, content, respect, and the evolution of your immortal soul. Its right use, its most effective use, is a matter of the highest urgency and of the most thrilling actuality. All depends on that. Your happiness—the elusive prize that you are all clutching for, my friends!—depends on that.

#7ForSunday #ArnoldBennett #LifeBalance #QuotesCalm realization
The most important preliminary to the task of arranging one’s life so that one may live fully and comfortably within one’s daily budget of twenty-four hours is the calm realization of the extreme difficulty of the task, of the sacrifices and the endless effort which it demands.

#7ForSunday #ArnoldBennett #LifeBalance #Quotes #TimeManagementOh, I will have to read those James and Conrad pastiches by Max Beerbohm. Thank you for your review (subtle and insightful, as ever). I'll order the book from Topping & Company.
The Arnold Bennett piece will be a special bonus. I spent a large part of my younger life in the Stoke area; memories.
