A lady who sets her heart upon a lad in uniform must prepare to change lovers pretty quickly, or her life will be but a sad one.

Perhaps all early love affairs ought to be strangled or drowned, like so many blind kittens.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

It is best to love wisely, no doubt; but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.

What peace, what love, what truth, what beauty, what happiness for all, what generous kindness for you and me, are here spread out!

'Tis strange what a man may do, and a woman yet think him an angel.
