Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it any more than we can without potatoes.

Our actions are in our own hands, but the consequences of them are not. Remember that, my dear, and think twice before you do anything.

Now we are expected to be as wise as men who have had generations of all the help there is, and we scarcely anything.

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.

But buds will be roses, and kittens, cats - more's the pity.

People want to be amused, not preached at, you know. Morals don't sell nowadays.

If I didn't care about doing right and didn't feel uncomfortable doing wrong, I should get on capitally.
