The problem is that this country is sucking the living dreams out of people..we need to get them back! The Joys of Living by Orison Swett Marden, 1913. One hundred years ago! Important Quotations: “The trouble with many people who lack imagination is that they have no utopia, no vision, and life is a hard, monotonous grind. Everyone should have a utopia and should live in it much of the time — a place where everything is ideal, and where everybody and everything is what they ought to be” “Man was made for growth — to realize poise of mind, peace, satisfaction. It is the object, the explanation, of his being. To have an ambition to grow larger and broader every day, to push the horizon of one’s ignorance a little further away, to become a little richer in knowledge, a little wiser, and more of a man — that is an ambition worthwhile.” “Books make it possible for every person born into the world to begin where the previous generation left off.” “Debt is one of the greatest sources of unhappiness, especially with young married people. In a large city like New York, many people feel that they are nobodies” “One of man’s greatest passions is that of achievement, the passion for doing things, the ambition to accomplish.” “Do not flatter yourself that you can be really happy unless you are useful. Happiness and usefulness were born twins. To separate them is fatal.” “Nothing else more effectually retards age than keeping in mind the bright, cheerful, optimistic, hopeful, buoyant picture of youth, in all its splendor, magnificence; the picture of the glories which belong to youth — youthful dreams, ideals, hopes, and all the qualities peculiar to young life.” “The greatest conqueror of age is a cheerful, hopeful, loving spirit.”
