Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us.

A good laugh is sunshine in the house.

Prosperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great.

No one can figure out your worth but you.

It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.

Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

The richest love is that which submits to the arbitration of time.

Let there be work, bread, water, and salt for all.

Perfection is attained by slow degrees; it requires the hand of time.

I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.
