I have a terrible wanderthirst; the very sight of a map makes me want to put on my hat and take an umbrella and start. I shall see before I die the palms and temples of the South.

The world is full of happiness, and plenty to go round, if you are only willing to take the kind that comes your way.

I believe absolutely in my own free will and my own power to accomplish - and that is the belief that moves mountains.

And if I ever have any children of my own, no matter how unhappy I may be, I am not going to let them have any cares until they grow up.

it's dreadful when two people's senses of humor are antagonistic. I don't believe there's any bridging that gulf!

The more I study men, the more I realize that they are nothing in the world but boys grown too big to be spankable.

I am going to pretend that all life is just a game which I must play as skilfully and fairly as I can. If I lose, I am going to shrug my shoulders and laugh—also if I win.
