Thank heavens, the sun has gone in and I don’t have to go out and enjoy it.

When we say we are certain so-and-so can't possibly have done it, what we mean is that we think he very likely did.

We grow with years more fragile in body, but morally stutter, and can throw off the chill of a bad conscience almost at once.

What humbugs we are, who pretend to live for beauty, and never see the dawn!

Don't tell friends their social faults; they will cure the fault and never forgive you.

The old know what they want; the young are sad and bewildered.

Don't laugh at youth for his affectations; he is only trying on one face after another to find his own.
