Frank Harris has been received in all the great houses - once.

Schools should be the most beautiful place in every town and village-so beautiful that the punishment for undutiful children should be barred from going to school the following day.

Be warned in time, James, and remain, as I do, incomprehensible: to be great is to be misunderstood.

Unless one is wealthy there is no use in being a charming fellow. Romance is the privilege of the rich, not the profession of the unemployed. The poor should be practical and prosaic. It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.

Poor? What does that matter? When poverty creeps in at the door, love flies in through the window.

In love, it is better to know and be disappointed, than to not know and always wonder.

Starvation, not sin, is the parent of modern crime.
