Man is born in a day, and he dies in a day, and the thing is easily over; but to have a sick heart for three-fourths of one's lifetime is simply to have death renewed every morning; and life at that price is not worth living.

War is cruelty, and none can make it gentle.

The real business of life is trying to understand each other.

Imagination is at the root of much that passes for love.

Tomorrow is no man's gift.

There is no influence like the influence of habit.
