“...as the old proverb said, The falling out of faithful friends is the renewal of love.”

“Take the dead from the dead, the old proverb said; only a corpse may speak true prophecy.”

“Those that cannot produce ideas often speak with the old proverbs!”

“An old woman is always uneasy when dry bones are mentioned in a proverb”

“It had not seemed to matter that Rose was only eight years old."More than eight," said Rose. "Nearly nine.""Darling Rose, even almost nearly nine-year-old's don't fall in love," said forgetful Caddy.Caddy tried very hard to comfort Rose when Tom had left. It was not an easy job. It was like trying to comfort a small, unhappy tiger."Who said anything about falling in love?" growled Rose crossly. "Falling! Falling is by accident! I didn't fall in anything!""Oh. Right. Sorry, Posy Rose.""And I am definitely not in love!”

“If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company.”
