dog real suffering
A real dog, beloved and therefore pampered by his mistress, is a lamentable spectacle. He suffers from fatty degeneration of his moral being.
humor essence mind
The essence of humor is that it should be unexpected, that it should embody an element of surprise, that it should startle us out of that reasonable gravity which, after all, must be our habitual frame of mind.
choices want trouble
It takes time and trouble to persuade ourselves that the things we want to do are the things we ought to do.
reading character incidents
For my part, the good novel of character is the novel I can always pick up; but the good novel of incident is the novel I can never lay down.
teacher profound miracle
It is because of our unassailable enthusiasm, our profound reverence for education, that we habitually demand of it the impossible. The teacher is expected to perform a choice and varied series of miracles.
love laughing said
It has been wisely said that we cannot really love anybody at whom we never laugh.
dog heart animal
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. Our dogs will love and admire the meanest of us, and feed our colossal vanity with their uncritical homage.
simplicity quality enthusiasm
Like simplicity and candor, and other much-commented qualities, enthusiasm is charming until we meet it face to face, and cannot escape from its charm.
anybody cannot love whom
We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh.
happiness happy women
It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
truth naked nudity
There are few nudities so objectionable as the naked truth.
kindness giving quality
to be civilized is to be incapable of giving unnecessary offense, it is to have some quality of consideration for all who cross our path.
shopping world essentials
Bargaining is essential to the life of the world; but nobody has ever claimed that it is an ennobling process.
thinking shifting comedy
For indeed all that we think so new to-day has been acted over and over again, a shifting comedy, by the women of every century.
