It's the fools that make all the trouble in the world, not the wicked.

Fear is a vile thing, and is at the bottom of almost every wrong and hatred of the world.

It would be so much easier to be good if one’s hair was handsome auburn, don’t you think?

Isn't it good just to be a live on a day like this? I pity the people who aren't born yet for missing it. They may have good days, of course, but they can never have this one.

Which would you rather be if you had the choice--divinely beautiful or dazzlingly clever or angelically good?

That is one good thing about this world...there are always sure to be more springs.
