Essays on Life

By thomas mitchell, farmer.

Just before the First World War destroyed a generation and divided Europe for almost a century, a farmer in a remote part of Scotland sat down at the age of 43 to write his thoughts on how to live a good life. He records the values of his time and his own take on them. His is now a voice from the past that demands our attention, not necessarily to emulate it but to encourage us to consider what we have lost and gained.

He was Thomas Mitchell.

His essays and thoughts cover six areas that are as important to us now as they were then.

The Art of Living (sample extracts)

A life that is not useful in some way and does not help others in some fashion, is a wasted life. One of the best secrets of a happy life is the art of extracting comfort and sweetness from every circumstance.

The Secret of Success

The young man who imagines success an easy thing and begins life where his rich father left off, usually ends where his father began. Talent is power. Tact is skill .Talent knows what to do. Tact knows how to do it.

The Value of Work

Failure in any good cause is, however, honourable, whilst success in any bad cause is merely infamous. National progress is the sum of individual industry, energy and uprightness, as national decay is of individual idleness , selfishness and vice.
We never hear of a man committing suicide for want of a loaf of bread, but it is often done as a means to escape justice for misdeads. Poverty has its blessings as well as its privations – nothing sharpens a man’s wits like poverty.

Education & Its Value

A dishonest man may become a greater scoundrel, through education, than he would have been uneducated. Good reading is only one mode of cultivating the mind and is much less influential than practical experience.
As trust is necessary for forming friendships, faithfulness is necessary for keeping it. The strong and capable man can by his comradeship tend to make others more capable.

It is clear from these extracts from his writing that Thomas has a style of writing and approach to thinking about the topics that are most important to us all and that is as relevant today as it was in his time.

Essays on Life by Thomas Mitchell, Farmer

By (author) thomas mitchell.

Thomas Mitchell’s essays on how to live well were completed in 1913, and reflect a clear mind and a good education, but also confidence about the world and society that were about to be shattered. No doubt some thoughts he expressed would have been impossible to reaffirm five years later. As we commemorate the centenary of terrible and unprecedented conflict, his intelligent voice from the past gives us an insight into how people thought before it and what was lost. This does not mean that Mitchell’s ideas are not also an individual’s, but it is now the combination of freshness and distance in this previously unpublished prose that makes it so compelling. His style also says much about the education system in Scotland and rural Aberdeenshire in particular, and his background was very similar to that of Lewis Grassic Gibbon. Though they undoubtedly had different politics, they would both have agreed on the importance of society.

Thomas Mitchell

Thomas Mitchell, born in 1870, was a tenant farmer at Mill of Ardo, a small settlement in North-East Scotland, and his family had leased since 1791. He was clearly well-educated and his house was full of books. He went to school in Foveran and Cultercullen in Aberdeenshire until he was seventeen and he enrolled in further education courses well into his twenties. He took over the lease in 1890 when his uncle died. He lived with his mother and grandmother. He was a quiet man who went to the mart in Aberdeen on a Friday and church on a Sunday. He married Margaret Finnie late in life and only after the death of his mother in 1922, and had two children, William and Margaret. William too was in the mould of his father and combined a keen sense of history with service to the community and the church. Thomas Mitchell died in 1950.
