“We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.”

Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.

So is cheerfulness, or a good temper, the more it is spent, the more remains.

Our strength grows out of our weaknesses.

Good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose.

Everything in the universe goes by indirection. There are no straight lines.

Most of the shadows of life are caused by standing in our own sunshine.

Our distrust is very expensive.
