“Least said, soonest mended.”

We can refute assertions, but who can refute silence?

One should never be ashamed to cry. Tears are rain on the dust of earth.

Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many – not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

We lawyers are always curious, always inquisitive, always picking up odds and ends for our patchwork minds, since there is no knowing when and where they may fit into some corner.

There are strings in the human heart that had better not be vibrated.

Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes.

There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.

Take nothing on its looks; take everything on evidence. There’s no better rule.

The broken heart. You think you will die, but you just keep living, day after day after terrible day.

It’s in vain to recall the past, unless it works some influence upon the present.

I have made up my mind that I must have money, Pa. I feel that I can’t beg it, borrow it, or steal it; and so I have resolved that I must marry it.

The world belongs to those who set out to conquer it armed with self confidence and good humor.

A day wasted on others is not wasted on one’s self.

Everybody said so. Far be it from me to assert that what everybody says must be true. Everybody is, often, as likely to be wrong as right.

I must be taken as I have been made. The success is not mine, the failure is not mine, but the two together make me.

Do all the good you can and make as little fuss about it as possible.

Exit gracefully. Heal and grow. Don’t look back.

Words can make you sick. Or healed. – Words create worlds because the universe is always listening… and so are your cells, your psyche, and your children, your team, and the apples.

You won’t heal your heart by rushing it.

When I started taking my own advice, I knew I was healing.

I will heal and Oh what a day that will be.

I wish for my words to make someone feel, I wish for my words to make someone heal.

Somethings that break you end up healing you.

Yet I also believe that when you do unto others, blessings come to you as well. So if you don’t have a friend, be a friend. If you are having a bad day, make someone else’s day. If your feelings are hurt, heal those of another.
