Life would be dull without them.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

A process which makes one rogue cleverer than another.

Memory is the diary that chronicles things that never have happened and couldn't possibly have happened.

You are more to me than any of them has any idea; you are the atmosphere of beauty through which I see life; you are the incarnation of all lovely things...I think of you day and night. ~ Letter to Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas

In America, an inventor is honoured, help is forthcoming, and the exercise of ingenuity, the application of science to the work of man, is there the shortest road to wealth.
