Making an issue of a little thing is one of the surest ways to spoil happiness.

The heart's seasons seldom coincide with the calendar. Who among us has not been made desolate beyond all words upon some golden day when the little creatures of the air and meadow were life incarnate, from sheer joy of living? Who among us has not come home, singing, when the streets were almost impassable with snow, or met a friend with a happy, smiling face, in the midst of a pouring rain?

when one has learned to wait patiently, one has learned to live.

If we could only use other folks' experience, this here world would be heaven in about three generations, but we're so constructed that we never believe fire'll burn till we poke our own fingers into it to see. Other folks' scars don't go no ways at all toward convincin' us.

Marriage is the cold potato of love.

Revolution is obstructed evolution.

There are many people who consider love a dream, but they usually grow to think of marriage as the cold breakfast.
