No real gentleman will tell the naked truth in the presence of ladies.

Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions....there was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions.

Out of the depths of my happy heart wells a great tide of love and prayer for this priceless treasure that is confided to my lifelong keeping. You cannot see its waves as they flow toward you, darling, but in these lines you will hear...the distant beating of its surf.

Some of the worst things in my life never even happened.

There are no grades of vanity; there are only grades of ability in concealing it.

Nothing is so ignorant as a man's left hand, except a lady's watch.

The bane of Americans is overwork-and the ruin of any work is a divided interest. Concentrate-concentrate. One thing at a time.
