When good-natured people leave us we look forward with extra pleasure to their return.

Too many individuals are like Shakespeare's definition of "echo,"--babbling gossips of the air.

Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done.

The truly innocent are those who not only are guiltless themselves but who think others are.

And now the lads and lasses, following the example of the birds, bill and coo together.

Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there.

Take the selfishness out of this world and there would be more happiness than we should know what to do with.
