Alas! it is not the child but the boy that generally survives in the man.

There is an honesty which is but decided selfishness in disguise. The person who will not refrain from expressing his or her sentiments and manifesting his or her feelings, however unfit the time, however inappropriate the place, however painful this expression may be, lays claim, forsooth, to our approbation as an honest person, and sneers at those of finer sensibilities as hypocrites.

The reasons which any man offers to you for his own conduct betray his opinion of your character.

Few have wished for memory so much as they have longed for forgetfulness.

It is in length of patience, endurance and forbearance that so much of what is good in mankind and womankind is shown.

We are pleased with one who instantly assents to our opinions, but we love a proselyte.

Keep your feet on the ground, but let your heart soar as high as it will. Refuse to be average or to surrender to the chill of your spiritual environment.
