Confession is always weakness. The grave soul keeps its own secrets, and takes its own punishment in silence.

I have learned to live each day as it comes, and not to borrow trouble by dreading tomorrow. It is the dark menace of the future that makes cowards of us.

There isn't a single human being who hasn't plenty to cry over, and the trick is to make the laughs outweigh the tears.

It is a queer thing, but imaginary troubles are harder to bear than actual ones.

You never saw a very busy person who was unhappy.

Nobody wants to kiss when they are hungry.

We are never happy until we learn to laugh at ourselves.

The price of indulging yourself in your youth in the things you cannot afford is poverty and dependence in your old age.
