'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not work those who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself.
A smile abroad is often a scowl at home.
Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, 'It will be happier.'
