“A girl who bonnets a policeman with an ashcan full of bottles is obviously good wife-and-mother timber.”

“The best thing a girl can be is a good wife and mother. It is a girl's highest calling. I hope I am ready.”

“They say that men should look at the mother of the girl they intend to marry," Yvette said. "Girls who did what I did should consider the wife a man has discarded or worn out, and know thye are not going to do much better.”

“In the construction of houses, choice of woods is made. Straight un-knotted timber of good appearance is used for the revealed pillars, straight timber with small defects is used for the inner pillars. Timbers of the finest appearance, even if a little weak, is used for the thresholds, lintels, doors, and sliding doors, and so on. Good strong timber, though it be gnarled and knotted, can always be used discreetly in construction.”

“A man who loves his mother too much is someone who can never love his wife enough.”
