Fiction is to the grown man what play is to the child; it is there that he changes the atmosphere and tenor of his life.

It takes hard writing to make easy reading.

Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them.

Teacher, tender comrade, wife, A fellow-farer true through life.

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.

Anyone can carry their burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do their work, however hard, for one day.

To miss the joy is to miss everything.
