- Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.
Man will do many things to get himself loved; he will do all things to get himself envied.
Familiarity breeds contempt; and children.
Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.
Grief can take care of itself; but to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to share it with.
Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered -- either by themselves or by others.
Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
If
you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite
you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
A habit cannot be tossed out the window; it must be coaxed down the stairs a step at a time.
Heaven goes by favour; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.
It is better to deserve honours and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.
A crank is someone with a new idea -- until it catches on.
