There never yet was a mother who taught her child to be an infidel.
Fools carry their daggers in their open mouths.
And now the lads and lasses, following the example of the birds, bill and coo together.

Half of the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough.
Genuine laughing is the vent of the soul, the nostrils of the heart, and just as necessary for health and happiness as spring water is for a trout.
