Oh, it's delightful to have ambitions. I'm so glad I have such a lot. And there never seems to be any end to them-- that's the best of it. Just as soon as you attain to one ambition you see another one glittering higher up still. It does make life so interesting.

When one great passion seizes possession of the soul all other feelings are crowded out.

Gilbert, I'm afraid I'm scandalously in love with you.

We pay a price for everything we get or take in this world; and although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won, but exact their dues of work and self denial, anxiety and discouragement.

Life is worth living as long as there's a laugh in it.

People laugh at me because I use big words. But if you have big ideas, you have to use big words to express them, haven't you?

I shall give life here my best, and I believe it will give its best to me in return.
