Better heresy of doctrine than heresy of heart.

For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'.

A little smile, a word of cheer, A bit of love from someone near, A little gift from one held dear, Best wishes for the coming year. These make a merry christmas!

It is a good thing to be rich and strong, but it is a better thing to be loved.

An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood; a mud bath for every soul concerned in it.

A lot of people in the middle of their lives have a secret yearning for more romance.

I am grateful for the gifts of intelligence, love, wonder and laughter. You can't say it wasn't interesting.
