"Wear a smile and have friends wear a scowl and have wrinkles""I like not only to be loved but also to be told I am loved""The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice""Our deeds determine us as much as we determine our deeds""Adventure is not outside man it is within""Animals are such agreeable friends they ask no questions they pass no criticisms""Delicious autumn my very soul is wedded to it and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns""It will never rain roses when we want to have more roses we must plant more roses""Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.""The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history.""What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?""It is never too late to be what you might have been."
