Isn't it good just to be alive on a day like this? I pity the people who aren't born yet for missing it.

There must be a limit to the mistakes one person can make, and when I get to the end of them, then I'll be through with them. That's a very comforting thought.

That's the worst of growing up, and I'm beginning to realize it. The things you wanted so much when you were a child don't seem half so wonderful to you when you get them.

Looking forward to things is half the pleasure of them. You mayn't get the things themselves; but nothing can prevent you from having the fun of looking forward to them.

It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.

I'm always sorry when pleasant things end. Something still pleasanter may come after, but you can never be sure.
