Show me a genuine case of platonic friendship, and I shall show you two old or homely faces.
Patience has tender feet.
Learned men fall into error oftenest by mistaking knowledge for wisdom.
When a great life sets it leaves an afterglow on the sky far into the night.
When you are dealing with a child, keep all your wits about you, and sit on the floor.
If you keep your mouth shut you will never put your foot in it.
