For me nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.
Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.
The young man knows the rules but the old man knows the exceptions.
Rough work iconoclasm but the only way to get at truth.
A new untruth is better than an old truth.
If you don’t make mistakes, you’re not working on hard enough...
A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.
Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere...
