A bookworm in bed with a new novel and a good reading lamp is as much prepared for pleasure as a pretty girl at a college dance.

Ladies with curly hair / Have time to spare.

This is the gist of what I know: Give advice and buy a foe.

There are books that one needs maturity to enjoy just as there are books an adult can come on too late to savor.

Tomorrow will come and today will pass, / But the hearts of the young are brittle as glass.

For the hearts of nurses are solid gold, / But their heels are flat and their hands are cold, / And their voices lilt with a lilt that's falser / Than the smile of an exhibition waltzer. / Yes, nurses can cure you, nurses restore you, / But nurses are bound that they do things for you.

Pressed for rules and verities, All i recolelct are these: Feed a cold and starve a fever. Argue with no true believer. Think-too-long is never-act. Scratch a myth and find a fact.
