Life is a cup of tea; the more heartily we drink the sooner we reach the dregs.

"If you have it [Love], you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have."

Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always try to be a little kinder than is necessary.

"It's grand, and ye canna expect to be baith grand and comfortable."

Temper is a weapon that we hold by the blade.
