I have learnt a good deal from my own talk.

Hurry is only admissible in catching flies.

It is easier to make money than to save it. One is exertion, the other, self-denial.

Just what part of meow don't you understand?

Every man's religion is his own, and nobody else's business.

Contentment is, after all, simply refined indolence.

Coerced innocence is like an imprisoned lark,--open the door, and it is off forever. The bird that roams through the sky and the groves unrestrained knows how to dodge the hawk and protect itself; but the caged one, the moment it leaves its bars and bolts behind, is pounced upon by the fowler or the vulture.
