It's a funny thing that when a man hasn't anything on earth to worry about, he goes off and gets married.

Humour is the most engaging cowardice. With it myself I have been able to hold some of my enemy in play far out of gunshot.

Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.

Marry or marry not, in any either case you'll regret it.

Lord, I have loved Your sky,Be it said against or for me,Have loved it clear and high,Or low and stormy.

We can make a little order where we are, and then the big sweep of history on which we can have no effect doesn't overwhelm us. We do it with colors, with a garden, with the furnishings of a room, or with sounds and words. We make a little form, and we gain composure.
