When I am grown to man's estate I shall be very proud and great. And tell the other girls and boys Not to meddle with my toys.
It is one thing to mortify curiosity, another to conquer it.
It's a pleasant thing to be young, and have ten toes.
Make the most of the best and the least of the worst.
The world has no room for cowards. We must all be ready somehow to toil, to suffer, to die.
Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.
