If we focus mostly on how we might have been partly or wholly to blame for what might have been less than a perfect, problem- free... childhood, our guilt will overwhelm their pain. It becomes a story about us, not them. . . . When we listen, accept, and acknowledge, we feel regret instead, which is simply guilt without neurosis.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Young men are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for counsel; and fitter for new projects than for settled ...business. For the experience of age, in things that fall within the compass of it, directeth them; but in new things, abuseth them. The errors of young men are the ruin of business; but the errors of aged men amount but to this, that more might have done, or sooner. Young men, in the conduct and manage of actions, embrace more than they can hold; stir more than they can quiet; fly to the end, without consideration of the means and degrees; pursue some few principles which they have chanced upon absurdly; care not to innovate, which draws unknown inconveniences; use extreme remedies at first; and, that which doubleth all errors, will not acknowledge or retract them; like an unready horse, that will neither stop nor turn. Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
You say your own soul supplies you with some sort of an idea or image of God. But at the same time you acknowledge you have, prope...rly speaking, no idea of your own soul. You even affirm that spirits are a sort of beings altogether different from ideas. Consequently that no idea can be like a spirit. We have therefore no idea of any spirit.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Once Vogue showed two or three dresses for stout women, but we were so shaken by the experience we haven't repeated it in fifty-se...ven years. Today ... we must acknowledge that a lady may grow mature, but she never grows fat.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
What will you say, when I tell you truly, that I cannot possibly read our countryman Milton through. I acknowledge him to have mos...t sublime passages, some prodigious flashes of light; but then you must acknowledge that light is often followed by darkness visible, to use his own expression.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
