As for opinions, if they're not pleasant they'd better be kept to yourself. I learned that early in life and forget it every day.

People are generally opposed to things they know nothing about.

In a man they forgive anything. In a woman nothing.

When there's love enough you can stand anything. When there isn't, you can stand nothing. Living together every day you find out a lot you didn't know, and love can't keep still. It's got to grow or die.

We have to wear clothes, a requirement of custom, but more time, temper, character, and peace of mind, not to mention money, have been sacrificed to them than to any other altar on this green earth, and for what?

... the place you're in is pretty near what you're fitted to fill. Otherwise you'd get out and fill another.

A man may be made in one generation, but a lady never!
