Anything for the quick life, as the man said when he took the situation at the lighthouse.
From Charles Dickens
Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration.
You don't carry in your countenance a letter of recommendation.
To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.
Papa, potatoes, poultry, prunes and prism, are all very good words for the lips.
It opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper; so cry away.
A person who can't pay gets another person who can't pay to guarantee that he can pay. Like a person with two wooden legs getting another person with two wooden legs to guarantee that he has got two natural legs. It don't make either of them able to do a walking-match.
There are strings in the human heart that had better not be vibrated.
Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.
We forge the chains we wear in life.
