My theory on literature is an author who does not indulge in trashiness-writes about people you could introduce into your own home...he did not care to read a book or go to a play about people he would not care to meet at his own dinner table. I believe we should live by certain standards and ideals.

Gossip is never fatal until it is denied.

The understanding smile of an old wife to her husband is one of the loveliest things in the world.

Mystics always hope that science will some day overtake them.

Arguments only confirm people in their own opinions.

Whatever does not pretend at all has style enough.

An ideal wife is any woman who has an ideal husband.
