What lies behind us and what lies before us are small compared to what lies within us.

Every ship is a romantic object, except that we sail in.

What is success? To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty and find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded.

A man's wife has more power over him than the state has.

A human being should beware how he laughs, for then he shows all his faults.

The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.

How much of human life is lost in waiting!

We boil at different degrees.

It is not irregular hours or irregular diet that make the romantic life.

Every man passes his life in the search after friendship.
