Sins of commission are far more productive of happiness than the sins of omission.

Revolution is obstructed evolution.

Before, you think of it as a permanent bond of happiness; later, you see that it is a yoke, borne unequally. You marry to keep love, but sometimes that is the surest way to lose it.

The body grows by food and work, the mind by use, and the soul through joy and pain.

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

It seems to take a lifetime for us to learn that wisdom consists largely in a graceful acceptance of things that do not immediately concern us.

May our house always be too small to hold all of our friends.
