Book: Letters about the kind and beautiful

Memory is one of the most important properties of being, of any being: material, spiritual, human…

If from the very beginning you conduct an argument politely and calmly, without arrogance, then you thereby secure a calm retreat with dignity.

Friendliness and kindness make a person not only physically healthy, but also beautiful. Yes, it's beautiful.

The ability to maintain dignity, not to impose one's grief on others, not to spoil the mood of others, to always be even in dealing with people, to be always friendly and cheerful - this is a great and real art that helps to live in society and society itself.

When deceiving, a person first of all deceives himself, because he thinks that he has successfully lied, but people understood and, out of delicacy, kept silent.

You can define the goal of your existence in different ways, but the goal must be - otherwise it will not be life, but vegetation.

True friends are acquired at a young age.

It is impossible to strive for a high goal with low means. We must be equally honest in both big and small things.

Deprive a truly intelligent man all his knowledge, education, depriving him of the memory. He forgot everything in the world will not know the classics of literature, will not remember the greatest works of art, forget the most important historical events, but if it will retain susceptibility to intellectual values, love of learning, interest in history, an aesthetic feeling, will be able to distinguish a real work of art from the rough "thing", only to surprise if he will be able to admire the beauty of nature, to understand the character and personality of another person, enter in his position, and realizing the other person to help him, not show rudeness, indifference, malice, envy, and appreciate the other's dignity, if he shows respect for the culture of the past, the skills of the educated person, the responsibility in addressing moral issues, wealth and precision of his language - spoken and written, - that it would be an intelligent person.

So I'm talking only about main life task. And this main life task is not necessary to emphasize in the eyes of other people. I must dress well (this is respect for others), but not necessarily "better than others". And the library itself need to be, but not necessarily greater than the neighbor. The car is good to purchase for yourself and family is convenient. Don't turn the secondary into the primary and don't need to main goal of life is exhausting you where it's not needed. When needed - is another matter. We'll see who and what is capable of.

Keep the youth to old age. Keep youth in their old, but acquire young friends. Keep youth in their skills, habits, their young "openness to people", spontaneity. Keep her around and don't think that adult you will become "a very, very different" and will live in a different world.

First of all, one General remark. To learn how to ride a bike, need to ride a bike. To learn to write, to write!

Our language is an essential part of our General behavior in life. As the man says, and once we can easily judge with whom we are dealing, we can determine the degree of intelligence of the person, the degree of psychological balance, the degree of the possible "inferiority complex".
