Really don't choose every day from the harvest you experience but from the seeds you plant

To be truly happy is a question of how we begin, and not how we end, of what we want and not what we have.

To have suffered ... sets a keen edge on what remains of the agreeable. This is a great truth and has to be learned in the fire.

I am told there are people who do not care for maps, and I find it hard to believe.

Be what you are, and become what you are capable of becoming.

For God's sake give me the young man who has brains enough to make a fool of himself!

Give us courage and gaiety and the quient mind . . .
