Loving everybody is polygamy. I care for no friend who loves his enemy equally well.

When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.

Common sense is compelled to make its way without the enthusiasm of anyone.

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.

Love affairs have always greatly interested me, but I do not greatly care for them in books or moving pictures. In a love affair, I wish to be the hero, with no audience present.

To be an ideal guest, stay at home.

The modest person is usually admired, if people ever hear of them.
