The media nowadays has given the message to adults. Don't try new things, don't look foolish because we will catch you and then broadcast it to the world. I think children don't have that.

"Do you think your boy will forget all he learned in college?" "I hope so. He can't make a living drinking."

Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it we can never do anything wise in this world.

Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.

To speak but little becomes a woman; and she is best adorned who is in plain attire.

I like to reminisce with people I don't know.
