It all depends on the way you look at it. The point of view is everything in this world.

it is bad manners to contradict a guest. You must never insult people in your own house - always go to theirs.

As if by magic, the love of the many comes with the love of the one.

No woman need fear the effect of absence upon the man who honestly loves her. The needle of the compass, regardless of intervening seas, points forever toward the north. Pitiful indeed is she who fails to be a magnet and blindly becomes a chain.

There is a great deal of trouble in this world which is not caused by people keeping their mouths shut.

Not infrequently, when a man asks a woman to marry him, he means that he wants her to help him love himself, and if, blinded by her own feeling, she takes him for her captain, her pleasure craft becomes a pirate ship, the colours change to a black flag with a sinister sign, and her inevitable destiny is the coral reef.

The appointed thing comes at the appointed time in the appointed way.
