Never lose a chance of saying a kind word.

Every man ought to be in love a few times in his life, and to have a smart attack of the fever. You are better for it when it is over: the better for your misfortune, if you endure it with a manly heart; how much the better for success, if you win it and a good wife into the bargain!

As fits the holy Christmas birth, Be this, good friends, our carol still Be peace on earth, be peace on earth, To men of gentle will.

There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up a pen to write.

Except for the young or very happy, I can't say I am sorry for anyone who dies.

Which of us is happy in this world? Which of us has his desire? or, having it, is satisfied?

Frequent the company of your betters.
