I have been an author for 20 years and an ass for 55.

A marriage. . .will give a new gladness to the sunshine, a new fragrance to the flowers, a new beauty to the earth, and a new mystery to life.

Our opinions do not really blossom into fruition until we have expressed them to someone else.

I've seen many troubles in my time, only half of which ever came true.

Additional problems are the offspring of poor solutions.

We take a natural interest in novelties, but it is against nature to take an interest in familiar things.

I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.
