Quote

The teller of a mirthful tale has latitude allowed him. We are content with less than absolute truth

He that deserves nothing should be content with anything

We study ourselves three weeks, we love each other three months, we squabble three years, we tolerate each other thirty years, and then the children start all over again

To love our neighbor as ourselves is such a truth for regulating human society, that by that alone one might determine all the cases in social morality.

It's the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and have her nonsense respected

What difference does it make to you what someone else becomes, or says, or does? You do not need to answer for others, only for yourself.
