Some people spend so much time hunting treasure that they fail to see it all around them. It's like sifting through gold to find the silt.

Old friends are memories personified.

Life is what happens to us while we're planning something else.

I don't want to go to Peru. "How do you know? You've never been there." I've never been to hell either and I'm pretty sure I don't want to go there.

Books are the most tolerant of friends.

We love those whom we serve (p. 26)

Things that seem bad at the time are really blessings.
