It's not what you want in this life, it's what you get that you have to do with.

The first rule of life is to reveal nothing, to be exceptionally cautious in what you say, in whatever company you may find yourself. If you have a secret, you have only to whisper it to your dearest friend with the strictest injunction that it will go no further, and within half a day the story is all over town, and when you do make what would seem to be a perfectly sensible remark, you will find it reported in the most grotesque form, thus incurring no end of criticism to rebound upon you.

One's first love is always perfect until one meets one's second love.

Love has no place in a lawyer's office.

What is right for one couple is wrong for another. I would say that there are many more important factors to a happy marriage.

People make one happy, not houses? I do not think so. Houses are more to be trusted than people.

We have to have the money to do the work we want to do, as well as to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. Fat commissions are good, but not always easy to come by, and each new painting takes its time. So we need to find every way possible to earn extra income from our work.
