I have lived in this world just long enough to look carefully the second time into things that I am most certain of the first time.

There's a great power in words, if you don't hitch too many of them together.

I hate to be a kicker, I always long for peace, But the wheel that does the squeaking, is the one that gets the grease.

Selfish people, with no heart to speak of, have the best time of it.

If you would make yourself agreeable wherever you go, listen to the grievances of others but never relate your own.

Life is like a mountain: after climbing up one side and sliding down the other, put up the sled.

There is nothing so easy to learn as experience and nothing so hard to apply.
