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.

As long as I am on this little planet I expect to love a lot of people and I hope they will love me in return.

It isn't bad judgment to make a man believe he is something. He is by nature inclined to it, and a little encouragement is good for most people.

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.

I hate a conscience. It's always making you feel low down and disreputable. I don't believe I will say anything to my children about one, and let them have some peace.

When you can't change a thing, don't let it change you.
