Walter Bagehot Mind Quotations

The habit of common and continuous speech is a symptom of mental deficiency. It proceeds from not knowing what is going on in other people's minds.

What impresses men is not mind, but the result of mind.

Business is really more agreeable than pleasure; it interests the whole mind, the aggregate nature of man more continuously, and more deeply. But it does not look as if it did.

Nothing is more unpleasant than a virtuous person with a mean mind.
