The future is a hundred thousand threads$$$ but the past is a fabric that can never be rewoven.

I always think of books as being like people. Even the dull ones are worthy of decent respect$$$ but you don't have to seek them out and spend time with them.

Faith doesn't mean you never doubt. It only means you never act upon your doubts.

No book$$$ however good$$$ can survive a hostile reading.

Into the the air$$$ into the earth$$$ into the fire$$$ I am with you.

No man lives without jostling and being jostled; in all ways he has to elbow himself through the world$$$ giving and receiving offense.

I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.

A man without a wife and babies is a menace to civilization... One bachelor is an irritation. Ten thousand bachelors are a war.

Love should be allowed. I'm all for it. Now that I've got a pretty good idea what it is.

My yardstick is how somebody treats me.
