What was the use of trying to expound a truth, if the majority preferred a lie?

It is not so difficult to win love as to keep it!

nobody ever intends to be old.

the world is not always kind to a clever woman even when she is visibly known to be earning her own living. There are always spiteful tongues wagging in the secret corners and byways, ready to assert that her work is not her own and and that some man is in the background, helping to keep her!

An opinion which excites no opposition at all is not worth having!

Years should be nothing to you. Who asked you to count them or consider them? In the world of wild Nature, time is measured by seasons only-the bird does not know how old it is-the rose-tree does not count its birthdays!

the beginning of my history is - love. It is the beginning of every man and every woman's history, if they are only frank enough to admit it.
