Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That wants it down.

One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.

I guess what I always found funny was the human condition. There is a certain comedy and pathos to trouble and accidents. Like, when a driver has parked his car crookedly and then wonders why he has the bad luck of being hit.

In all of us, even in good men, there is a lawless wild-beast nature, which peers out in sleep.

Man gives every reason for his conduct save one, every excuse for his crimes save one, every plea for his safety save one; and that one is his cowardice.

People exaggerate the value of things they haven't got. Everybody worships truth and unselfishness because they have no experience with them.
