If you want to know how old a woman is . . . ask her sister-in-law. A secretary must think like a man, act like a lady, look like a girl and work like a dog. The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators. You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family. A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o' clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone. When thieves fall out, honest men come by their own. The day you write to please everyone you no longer are in journalism. You are in show business. If a man harbors any sort of fear, it percolates through all his thinking, damages his personality, makes him landlord to a ghost. Seize the day, and put the least possible trust in tomorrow. Failing to be there when a man wants her is a woman's greatest sin, except to be there when he doesn't want her. Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive each other's little failings. Your real security is yourself. You know you can do it, and they can't ever take that away from you. To eat bread without hope is still slowly to starve to death. The object of war is to survive it. Patience is the best remedy for every trouble. It is by believing in roses that one brings them to bloom. Knock the "t" off the "can't." Parents are friends that life gives us; friends are parents that the heart chooses. I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right. Being "brave" means doing or facing something frightening. ... Being "fearless" means being without fear.
