It were not best that we should all think alike.
Obscurity and a competence—that is the life that is best worth living.
Frankness is a jewel; only the young can afford it.
Ours is a terrible religion. The fleets of the world could swim in spacious comfort in the innocent blood it has spilt.
And I urge upon you this - which I think is wisdom - if you find you can't make seventy by any but an uncomfortable road, don't you go.
A dollar picked up in the road is more satisfaction to you than the ninety-and -nine which you had to work for, and money won at faro or in stock snuggles into your heart in the same way.
