Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

As a single withered tree, if set aflame, causes a whole forest to burn, so does a rascal son destroy a whole family.

I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.

Life is short. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly and love truly.

There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy.

Most men die at 27, we just bury them at 72.
