Quotes

Every man is guilty of all the good he didn't do. – Voltaire
I feel like this quote is saying that of all of the opportunities we get in our lives to do good, how many do we actually take? There is at least one opportunity to do something good for someone every single day, and most of the time we don’t take that opportunity, because we—the human race—are selfish. This, therefore, makes us guilty. 
I chose this quote because I am guilty of this. I try to be a nice person, as most people do, and do good on a regular basis. But no one takes every opportunity to be altruistic, and neither do I. This is a philosophy that should be taken by everyone, but obviously isn’t.


Our life is frittered away by detail….Simplify, simplify.  –Henry David Thoreau
This quote means that everyone’s life is always so busy and so full and so detailed, and that isn’t good. Life can be lived simply and happily without all of the clutter and chaos in it; it can really be lived better, more smoothly. Simple.
I chose this quote because my life is full of chaos and details and is very overwhelming. Living life simple sounds great, and I wish that I could. But because no one actually lives their lives simply, it effects everyone else, like me, which causes me to not be able to lead a simple life either—domino effect.

 
Don’t tell me worrying doesn’t do any good.  Half the things I worry about never even happen. –Twain
