Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more personal liking.

I'm not denyin' the women are foolish; God Almighty made 'em to match men.

I desire no future that will break the ties with the past.

There is nothing that will kill a man so soon as having nobody to find fault with but himself.

But most of us are apt to settle within ourselves that the man who blocks our way is odious, and not to mind causing him a little of the disgust which his personality excites in ourselves.
