"The most effective teacher will always be biased, for the chief force in teaching is confidence and enthusiasm."
"Funeral expenses are the curse of the poor everywhere on earth, they are wasteful and unnecessary, they are the price of foolish ostentation and a display that is less an evidence of grief than a vulgar travesty of those pompous obsequies where no grief is."

"To forgive is wisdom, to forget is genius."
"The truth is that life is hard and dangerous; that he who seeks his own happiness does not find it; that he who is weak must suffer; that he who demands love will be disappointed; that he who is greedy will not be fed; that he who seeks peace will find strife; that truth is only for the brave; that joy is only for him who does not fear to be alone; that life is only for the one who is not afraid to die."
"A perfect God is the creation of a conceited man"
"When a woman gets the idea of justice, there's no teaching her any sense."
"A novel should be an experience and convey an emotional truth rather than arguments."
