The world is not so much in need of new thoughts as that when thought grows old and worn with usage it should, like current coin, be called in, and, from the mint of genius, reissued fresh and new.
The man who in this world can keep the whiteness of his soul is not likely to lose it in any other.
Trifles make up the happiness or the misery of human life.
The dead keep their secrets, and in a while we shall be as wise as they - and as taciturn.
How deeply seated in the human heart is the liking for gardens and gardening.
The saddest thing that befalls a soul is when it loses faith in God and woman.
