I haven't a clue about the biology or the psychology involved when a person dissolves into tears, but it is quite fascinating to note what turns them on. There are wives who can cascade over a late husband or a burned dinner, and equally pour tears of joy over a new bonnet or a renovated bathroom.... A while ago I took a ship back from Europe. Amid the tumbling confetti ... I found myself misty-eyed watching a young lady waving a tearful farewell to her boyfriend on the dock. I couldn't figure out if I was crying at her plight, or in delight that he wasn't coming along with us.

You're fortunate when you can afford to be virtuous.

Thinkers perish, thoughts don't.

Thinking well to be wise: planning well, wiser: doing well wisest and best of all.

A gun in the hand is worth any number being tested.

There's no way to move without making waves.

Any marriage that survives a big wedding can probably survive.
