Most long lives resemble those threads of gossamer, the nearest approach to nothing unmeaningly prolonged, scarce visible pathways of some worm from his cradle to his grave.

Wealth may be an excellent thing, for it means power, and it means leisure, it means liberty.

Fashion being the art of those who must purchase notice at some cheaper rate than that of being beautiful, loves to do rash and extravagant things. She must be forever new, or she becomes insipid.

The one thing finished in this hasty world.

Like streams that keep a summer mind Snow-hid in Jenooary.

Many make the household but only one the home.

All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.
