happiness fake-people humor
What I am looking for is a blessing not in disguise.
falling-in-love wine play
Eat good dinners and drink good wine; read good novels if you have the leisure and see good plays; fall in love, if there is no reason why you should not fall in love; but do not pore over influenza statistics.
thinking
We must not think of the things we could do with, but only of the things that we can't do without.
funny work humorous
I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.
success work stress
It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do.
funny dog silly
They [dogs] never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation.
men thinking topics
If there is one person I do despise more than another, it is the man who does not think exactly the same on all topics as I do...
funny stupid silly
It is so pleasant to come across people more stupid than ourselves. We love them at once for being so.
sleep men priceless
It seems to me so shocking to see the precious hours of a man's life - the priceless moments that will never come back to him again - being wasted in a mere brutish sleep.
funny truth liars
It is always the best policy to speak the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.
happiness regret opportunity
Opportunities flit by while we sit regretting the chances we have lost, and the happiness that comes to us we heed not, because of the happiness that is gone.
love inspirational life
Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing.
women heaven good-woman
A good woman's arms round a man's neck is a lifebelt thrown out to him from heaven.
respect too-much drag
I respect the truth too much to drag it out on every occasion.
