A Great Statesman, Like A Good Housekeeper,

Above All Things, Never Be Afraid. The Enemy Who Forces You To Retreat Is Himself Afraid Of You At That Very Moment.

In Literature As In Love, We Are Astonished At What Is Chosen By Others.

A Friend Loves You For Your Intelligence, A Mistress For Your Charm, But Your Family's Love Is Unreasoning; You Were Born Into It And Are Of Its Flesh And Blood. Nevertheless It Can Irritate You More Than Any Group Of People In The World.

Marriage Is Not Something That Can Be Accomplished All At Once; It Has To Be Constantly Reaccomplished. A Couple Must Never Indulge In Idle Tranquility With The Remark: "the Game Is Won; Let's Relax." The Game Is Never Won. The Chances Of Life Are Such That Anything Is Possible. Remember What The Dangers Are For Both Sexes In Middle Age. A Successful Marriage Is An Edifice That Must Be Rebuilt Every Day.

People Are What You Make Them. A Scornful Look Turns Into A Complete Fool A Man Of Average Intelligence. A Contemptuous Indifference Turns Into An Enemy A Woman Who, Well Treated, Might Have Been An Angel.
