“Of two evils, choose the prettier.”

“We should live and learn; but by the time we've learned, it's too late to live.”

“Happiness is the ability to recognize it.”

“A blunder at the right moment is better than cleverness at the wrong time.”

“I am more fond of achieving than striving. My theories must prove to be facts or be discarded as worthless. My efforts must soon be crowned with success, or discontinued.”

“Youth is a silly, vapid state, Old age with fears and ills is rife; This simple boon I beg of Fate - A thousand years of Middle Life.”
