Where there is a mother in the home, matters go well.

One must be rich in thought and character to owe nothing to books, though preparation is necessary to profitable reading; and the less reading is better than more;--book-struck men are of all readers least wise, however knowing or learned.

Where there is a mother in the home, matters go well.

One's outlook is a part of his virtue.

Good-humor, gay spirits, are the liberators, the sure cure for spleen and melancholy. Deeper than tears, these irradiate the tophets with their glad heavens. Go laugh, vent the pits, transmuting imps into angels by the alchemy of smiles. The satans flee at the sight of these redeemers.

Traveling is no fool's errand to him who carries his eyes and itinerary along with him.

The head best leaves to the heart what the heart alone divines.
