I'm not going to lie down and let trouble walk over me.

Violence commands both literature and life, and violence is always crude and distorted.

What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.

What a man marries for's hard to tell ... an' what a woman marries for's past findin' out.

Give the young half a chance and they will create their own future, they will even create their own heaven and earth.

Evidently, whatever else marriage might prevent, it was not a remedy for isolation of spirit.

The older I grow the more earnestly I feel that the few joys of childhood are the best that life has to give.
