Not having children makes less work-but it makes a quiet house.

The facts of another's life do not illumine. Only when we know the heart can we know that life. Only the feeling that made the days can light them.

Strength diminishes when it seems we are spending it in vain.

... you can't put out a light just because it may light the wrong person.

I can't think of any sorrow in the world that a hot bath wouldn't help, just a little bit.

Some days are happy days - of themselves, as if for their own sakes. They seem to be enjoying themselves, regardless of what use may be made of them.

Seems nothing draws men together like killing other men.
