A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road.

Nobody ever sees truth except in fragments.

The last person one wants to be is themselves. Sadly, that is the best person to be.

A reputation for good judgment, for fair dealing, for truth, and for rectitude, is itself a fortune.

If a boy is not trained to endure and to bear trouble, he will grow up a girl; and a boy that is a girl has all a girl's weakness without any of her regal qualities. A woman made out of a woman is God's noblest work; a woman made out of a man is His meanest.

The most dangerous people are the ignorant.

Books are the windows through which the soul looks out.
