Five golden years, Heart of Mine, have we walked the way of life together, and there is not an hour I would have changed; there is no moment when I would have you other than you have been. It is the fashion these days, I know, to say that love ends at the altar, but it is not so. You and I have found the old dream of the world divinely true. It is neither a poet's fancy nor a trick of the imagination, but a thing of fadeless and unending beauty.

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

There is always one way to make anybody do anything - the trouble is to find it.

When we come to the sundown road, we need all the love we have managed to take with us from the summit of the hill.

All we can do in this world is the thing that seems to us the best. We have no concern with the results, except as a guide for the future, and sometimes, years afterward, we see that what seemed like a bitter loss was, in reality, gain.

When you borrow trouble you give your peace of mind as security.
