“Nothing is more responsible for the good old days than a bad memory.”

“Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.”

“Behind closed doors, good men are often more mischievous and exasperating than the truly bad ones. The difference is they're naughty because they're happy - boys at heart, no matter how many responsibilities they bear or how old they become.”

“Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”

“There is nothing higher and stronger and more wholesome and useful for later years than some good memory, especially a menory connected with childhood, with home. If a man carries many such memories with him into life, he is safe to the end of his days, and if we have only one good memory left in our hearts..even that may sometime be the means of saving us.”

“The expression 'there is nothing like the good old days' does not mean that fewer bad things happened before, but fortunately, that people tend to forget about them.”
