"You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long" — Marcus Tullius Cicero

Love's like the measles - all the worse when it comes late in life.

The only reason for the existence of a novel is that it does attempt to represent life.

Life is a predicament which precedes death.

Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens.

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions
