There is a wisdom of the head, and a wisdom of the heart.

• The age of chivalry is past. Bores have succeeded to dragons.
• It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
• A boy's story is the best that is ever told.
• There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts.
• Most men are individuals no longer so far as their business, its activities, or its moralities are concerned. They are not units but fractions.
• The first rule of business is: Do other men for they would do you.
• The one great principle of English law is to make business for itself.
• That sort of half sigh, which, accompanied by two or three slight nods of the head, is pity's small change in general society.
• Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.
• Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship and pass the rosy wine.
