The sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal.

Prosperity knits a man to the world.

I have often repented of speech but hardly ever of silence.

If things are real, they're there all the time.

Adventures are never fun while you're having them.

I suggest to you that it is because God loves us that he gives us the gift of suffering. Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world. You see, we are like blocks of stone out of which the Sculptor carves the forms of men. The blows of his chisel, which hurt us so much are what make us perfect.

I never see why we should do anything unless it is either a duty or a pleasure! Life's short enough without filling up hours unnecessarily
