If someone angers you, they control you.

As a girl my temper often got out of bounds. But one day when I became angry at a friend over some trivial matter, my mother said to me, Elizabeth, anyone who angers you conquers you.

It's better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life.

My mother used to say, 'He who angers you, conquers you!' But my mother was a saint.

His response was remarkable for its irrelevance, if for nothing else.

Memories do not always behave in an orderly way, but bloom, as it were, erratically.

O sleep, O gentle sleep, I thought gratefully, Nature's gentle nurse.
