Whether You Are Healthy Or Ill, Your Thoughts Can Drive You. If You Are Feeling Ill, It May Be Your Mind That Has Made You So.
As Difficult As It Is To Have Company Within One’s House, The Absence Of Company Is More So. The Quiet Echoing Of Solitary Footsteps Within The Halls Is Suddenly Amplified Without The Voices Of Excited Guests. The Clinking Of Plates And Silver Has Narrowed To Individual Forks And Spoons Instead Of The Enchanting Din Of Dining. The Natural Creaks And Squeaks Of The Home Are Louder And More Surprising.
A Fine Dress On A Homely Maiden Is Never Enough Of A Distraction. It Can Convey A Sense Of Wealth And Its Accompanying Attractions, But It Can Never Truly Compensate For A Plain Face.
A Scoundrel Will Forever Be A Scoundrel, No Matter Which Coat He Wears.

Life Ain’t Like Books. Books Got Somebody Writin’ ‘Em And Tryin’ To Entertain Ya. Life Is More Like A Set Of Legos. Unless You Take Care Of ‘Em, You Lose A Few Pieces And You End Up Steppin’ On ‘Em With Bare Feet. You Gotta Take Care Of Your Life.

Papa Said That I Should Never Be Jealous Of Another’s Marriage. Whatever Joys I Imagine Them Having Are Just My Imaginings. The Reality Is Far More Complicated And Vast.
Our Hearts Can Deceive Us. Our Hearts Cannot Reason. They Cannot Judge A Man’s Character. All They Can Do Is See A Man And Think, ‘There Is A Fine Specimen. He Is Handsome And Attentive.

The Home Of A Clergyman Is Constantly Judged By Its Parishioners. If It Is Too Large And Richly Decorated, It Is The Subject Of Jealousy. If It Is Too Small And Humble, It Is The Subject Of Scorn.
