Charles Kingsley People Quotations

If you want to be miserable, think about yourself, about what you want, what you like, what respect people ought to pay you and what people think of you.

If you wish to be miserable, think about yourself, about what you want, what you like, what respect people ought to pay you, what people think of you; and then to you nothing will be pure. You will spoil everything you touch; you will make sin and misery for yourself out of everything God sends you; you will be as wretched as you choose.
