Σελίδα 225 - When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
Σελίδα 359 - ... a custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black stinking fume thereof, nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless.
Σελίδα 53 - The best and most beautiful things in the -world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Σελίδα 95 - Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Σελίδα 53 - I thank God for my handicaps, for through them, I have found myself, my work and my God.
Σελίδα 71 - The opposite of talking isn't listening. The opposite of talking is waiting.
