Lovers are fools, but Nature makes them so.

Time is an eternal guest that banquets on our ideals and bodies.

Parties who want milk should not seat themselves on a stool in the middle of the field in hope that the cow will back up to them.

Good health! Whenever you go out of doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of your head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in sunshine; greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and never waste a minute thinking about your enemies.

Do not dump your woes upon people — keep the sad story of your life to yourself. Troubles grow by recounting them.

Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.

I believe in courtesy, in kindness, in generosity, in good cheer, in friendship and in honest competition. I believe there is something doing somewhere, for every man ready to do it. I believe I'm ready, RIGHT NOW.
