"Many a man gets weary of clamping down on his rough impulses, which if given occasional release would encourage the living of life with salt in it, in place of dust"
- Henry S. Haskins
About this Quote
In this quote, Henry S. Haskins recommends that lots of people battle with managing their natural impulses. These impulses, if enabled to be expressed sometimes, could include enjoyment and flavor to life rather of it being dull and mundane. Haskins uses the metaphor of "salt" to represent life and "dust" to represent uniformity. He thinks that reducing our impulses too much can lead to a life lacking in vigor. Haskins encourages individuals to discover a balance between managing their impulses and allowing them to be expressed in moderation. This would lead to a more satisfying and satisfying life.
"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday"
