Write for pleasure and publish for money.
A deception that elevates us is dearer than a host of low truths.
To love all ages yield surrender; But to the young it's raptures bring A blessing bountiful and tender- As storms refresh the fields of spring.
Don't be sad, don't be angry, if life deceives you! Submit to your grief - your time for joy will come, believe me.
My whole life has been pledged to this meeting with you.
Thank you, darling, for learning to play chess. It is an absolute necessity for any well organized family. (in a letter to his wife)
