We can never understand other people's motives, nor their furniture.

People are like birds: on the wing, all beautiful; up close, all beady little eyes.

If your husband expects you to laugh, do so; if he expects you to cry, don't; if you don't know what he expects, what are you doing married?

Every day of our lives we are on the verge of making those slight changes that would make all the difference.

What we forgive too freely doesn't stay forgiven.

We cough because we can't help it, but others do it on purpose.

Others follow patterns; we alone are unpredictable.
