"Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses."

"It is better to lose health like a spendthrift than to waste it like a miser."
Health
"When a torrent sweeps a man against a boulder, you must expect him to scream, and you need not be surprised if the scream is sometimes a theory."
Man
"If your morals make you dreary, depend on it, they are wrong."
Joy
"Happiness and goodness, according to canting moralists, stand in the relation of effect and cause. There was never anything less proved or less probable: our happiness is never in our own hands; we inherit our constitution; we stand buffet among friends and enemies; we may be so built as to feel a sneer or an aspersion with unusual keenness and so circumstanced as to be unusually exposed to them; we may have nerves very sensitive to pain, and be afflicted with a disease very painful. Virtue will not help us, and it is not meant to help us."
Happiness
"Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others."
Courage
"To avoid an occasion for our virtues is a worse degree of failure than to push forward pluckily and fall."
Courage
"The body is a house of many windows: there we all sit, showing ourselves and crying on the passers-by to come and love us."
Love
"You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us."

"You deal with me very frankly, and I thank you for it,' said I. 'I will try on my side to be no less honest. I believe these deep duties may lie upon your lordship; I believe you may have laid them on your conscience when you took the oaths of the high office which you hold. But for me, who am just a plain man--or scarce a man yet--the plain duties must suffice. I can think but of two things, of a poor soul in the immediate and unjust danger of a shameful death, and of the cries and tears of his wife that still tingle in my head. I cannot see beyond, my lord. It's the way I am made. If the country has to fall, it has to fall. And I pray God, if this is wilful blindness, that He may enlighten me before too late."
