Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.

Judicious absence is a weapon.

The absent are like children, helpless to defend themselves

A wife is essential to great longevity; she is the receptacle of half a man's cares, and two-thirds of his ill-humor.

Sow an act and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny.

The absent are like children, helpless to defend themselves.
