“Wisdom is better than wit, and in the long run will certainly have the laugh on her side.”

A vast deal may be done by those who dare to act.

Self-knowledge is the first step to maturity.

Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion.

But indeed I would rather have nothing but tea.

And sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in.

Her own thoughts and reflections were habitually her best companions.

A person who is knowingly bent on bad behavior, gets upset when better behavior is expected of them.

I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.

Ah! There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort.

If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.

I can always live by my pen.

To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.

It’s such a happiness when good people get together.

To wish was to hope, and to hope was to expect.

I must learn to be content with being happier than I deserve.

Let things break you wide open, that’s where the golden light is.

You’re supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for Gods sake!

Being satisfied with what we already have is a magical golden key to being alive in a full, unrestricted, and inspired way.

Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love.

You get what you repeat.

When it is darkest is when you must shine.

The greater the struggle the more glorious the triumph.

Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.
