You lose such a lot of time just sleeping ... when you might just be living! ... It seems such a pity we can't live nights too.

Of course things you don't know about are always nicer'n things you do, same as the pertater on 'tother side of the plate is always the biggest.

It isn't given to us to see ends. We can only attend to the beginnings and make them right.

... there is something about everything that you can be glad about, if you keep hunting long enough to find it.

Be glad. Be good. Be brave.

What men and women need is encouragement. Their natural resisting powers should be strengthened, not weakened ... Instead of always harping on a man's faults, tell him of his virtues. Try to pull him out of his rut ... Hold up to him his better self, his real self that can dare and do and win out! ... People radiate what is in their minds and in their hearts.

It'll be just lovely for you to play -- it'll be so hard. And there's so much more fun when it is hard!
