Some stories are so familiar its like going home.

It takes three or four women to get each man into, through, and out of the world.

I don't worry about the storms, I am learning to sail my own ship.

Go out more, keep cheerful as well as busy, for you are the sunshine-maker of the family, and if you get dismal there is no fair weather.

Do the things you know, and you shall learn the truth you need to know.

You are like a chestnut burr, prickly outside, but silky-soft within, and a sweet kernel, if one can only get at it. Love will make you show your heart some day, and then the rough burr will fall off.

Men are always ready to die for us, but not to make our lives worth having. Cheap sentiment and bad logic.
