William Makepeace Thackeray

When I walk with you I feel as if I had a flower in my buttonhole.

A good laugh is sunshine in the house.

Dinner was made for eating, not for talking.

Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.

It is only hope which is real, and reality is a bitterness and a deceit.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

Good humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society.
