One of the most interesting things in the world to me is the vast difference between what people say they are going to do, and what they actually do.

Womankind suffers from three delusions: marriage will reform a man, a rejected lover is heartbroken for life, and if the other women were only out of the way, he would come back.

It is personal vanity of the most flagrant type which intrudes itself, unasked, into other people's affairs. There are few of us who do not feel capable of ordering the daily lives of others, down to the most minute detail.

One uncongenial guest can ruin a dinner more easily than a poor salad, and that is saying a great deal.

Love and hate always remember; it is only indifference that forgets.

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