Always live up to your standards — by lowering them, if necessary.

Some women love only what they can hold in their arms; others, only what they can't.

If you have to do it every day, for God's sake learn to do it well.

Without enthusiasm, virtue functions not at all, and vice only poorly.

What you can't get out of, get into wholeheartedly.
