Never write anything that does not give you great pleasure. Emotion is easily transferred from the writer to the reader.

What is true by lamplight is not always true by sunlight.

When you give, give with joy and smiling.

Politeness smooths wrinkles.

When my friends lack an eye, I look at them in profile.

There was a time when the world acted on books; now books act on the world.

There is always some frivolity in excellent minds; they have wings to rise, but also stray.
