There is indeed a heaven on this earth, a heaven which we inhabit when we read a good book.

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.

The little Plumpuppets are fairies of beds; They have nothing to do but watch sleepyheads; They turn down the sheets and they tuck you in tight, And dance on your pillow to wish you good night!

Dancing is a wonderful training for girls, it's the first way you learn to guess what a man is going to do before he does it.

From now until the end of time no one else will ever see life with my eyes, and I mean to make the best of my chance.

It is unfair to blame man too fiercely for being pugnacious; he learned the habit from Nature.

Only the sinner has the right to preach.
