You may have noted the fact that it is a person's virtues as often as his vices that make him difficult to live with.

There is nothing so debilitating to a naturally weak sense of humor as selling tickets behind a grating.

There are certain narrow, umimaginative, and autocratic old people who seem to call out the most mischievous and sometimes the worst traits in children.

It is very funny, but you do not always have to see people to love them. Just think about it, and see if it isn't so.

If you make children happy now, you will make them happy twenty years hence by the memory of it.

Every child born into the world is a new thought of God, an ever-fresh and radiant possibility.

One cannot see callers, answer the telephone, go to luncheons or dinners, visit the dentist or shoemaker, address charitable organizations in or from a bed; therefore a bed, in my experience, is simply bristling with ideas.
