“There is nothing so annoying as having two people talking when you're busy interrupting.”

“Memories which someday will become all beautiful when the last annoyance that encumbers them shall have faded out of our minds.”

“Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits.”

“People talk about beautiful relationships between two persons of the same sex. What is the best of that sort as compared with the friendship of man and wife where the best impulses and highest ideals of both are the same? There is no place for comparison between the two friendships; the one is earthly, the other divine.”

“That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don’t know nothing about it.”

“I went to Maui to stay a week and remained five. I never spent so pleasant a month before, or bade any place goodbye so regretfully. I have not once thought of business, or care or human toil or trouble or sorrow or weariness, and the memory of it will remain with me always.”

“Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.”
