"A beautiful lady is an accident of nature. A beautiful old lady is a work of art." — Louis Nizer

To find a fault is easy; to do better may be difficult.

We are slow to believe that which if believed would hurt our feelings.

Books are standing counselors and preachers, always at hand, and always disinterested; having this advantage over oral instructors, that they are ready to repeat their lesson as often as we please.

A graceful taunt is worth a thousand insults.
