Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind.

Compatibility

You can forgive people who do not follow you through a philosophical disquisition; but to find your wife laughing when you had tears in your eyes, or staring when you were in a fit of laughter, would go some way towards a dissolution of the marriage.

Desire

To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you ought to prefer is to have kept your soul alive.

Failure

Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits.

Friends and Friendship

A friend is a present you give to yourself.

Growth

When I am grown to man's estate I shall be very proud and great. And tell the other girls and boys Not to meddle with my toys.

Intelligence and Intellectuals

To be wholly devoted to some intellectual exercise is to have succeeded in life.

Life and Living

We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one thing leading to another in an endless series.

Men and Women

The little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys.

Sales

Everyone lives by selling something.

Travel and Tourism

To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labor.

Weakness

You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?
