Christmas is a kindling of new fires.

Nothing makes a house cozier than cats.

Whoever decided that comic valentines were a good idea should have been sent away to think it over.

I resolve to be more patient, less selfish, cherish my friends, and in my small way help whoever needs help. I cannot conceivably influence the world's destiny, but I can make my own life more worthwhile. I can give some help to some people; that is not vital to all the world's problems and yet, I think if everyone did just that, we might see quite a world in our time!

After all, catching something is purely a by-product of our fishing. It is the act of fishing that wipes away all grief, lightens all worry, dissolves fear and anxiety.

Happiness is a thing of now.

I suppose I am a sparrow, a stay-at-home bird.
