 We know our friends by their defects rather than by their merits.

 We seek pitifully to convey to others the treasures of our heart, but they have not the power to accept them, and so we go lonely, side by side but not together, unable to know our fellows and unknown by them

 What makes old age hard to bear is not the failing of one's faculties, mental and physical, but the burden of one's memories

 When I read a book I seem to read it with my eyes only, but now and then I come across a passage, perhaps only a phrase, which has a meaning for me, and it becomes part of me.

 When people say they do not care what others think of them, for the most part they deceive themselves. Generally they mean only that they will do as they choose, in the confidence that no one will know their vagaries; and at the utmost only that they are willing to act contrary to the opinion of the majorities because they are supported by the approval of their neighbors. It’s not difficult to be unconventional in the eyes of the world when your unconventionality is but the convention of your set.

 When you are young you take the kindness people show you as your right.

 When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

 Wit: Intellect on a spree

 Women's hearts are like old china, none the worse for a break or two

 Words have weight, sound and appearance; it is only by considering these that you can write a sentence that is good to look at and good to listen to

 Words have weight, sound and appearance; it is only by considering these that you can write a sentence that is good to look at and good to listen to

 Writing is the supreme solace.

 You are not angry with people when you laugh at them. Humor teaches them tolerance.

 You are unlikely to have a startling adventure if you never take a more hazardous journey than a tram ride from your house to the office. It is the same with the soul.

 You can do anything in this world if you are prepared to take the consequences
