Anyhow, I've learned one thing now. You only really get to know people when you've had a jolly good row with them. Then and then only can you judge their true characters!

People who have a religion should be glad, for not everyone has the gift of believing in heavenly things.

No one ever was the poorer for giving

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.

Dead people receive more flowers than the living ones because the regret is stronger than gratitude.
