Nobody likes to be accused of a virtue.

The fact is, people who don't have any misfortunes are very irritating to their neighbours. No opportunities for popping in with condolences and new-laid eggs. No visits to the afflicted. No opportunities for the milk of human kindness to flow. Naturally it doesn't.

Husbands and wives quarrel a lot more than anyone thinks, and it's oftener about little things than big ones.

A lie that is half a truth is ever the hardest to fight.

You cannot divide minds into sexes. Each human being presents an individual problem.

The most trying moments in human experience were those in which there was nothing to be done except to wait.

You can't do such a lot and do it all so well and have much time left for the ordinary human feelings.
