WTine Words ipid is a crank The exception is the rule The real hero is born that way The weary sinner is the surest penitent Some hearts grow softer by hard knocks The wilder the species the read ier to produce The loveliest things are those somebody else gets Every positive delight is a cause for possible repining Kioses are the pouctuation marks in the charter of love Suspicion is the fire at which fools light their intelligence Womaun hysterical tendency has lost her many a kingdom A man loobos everything when he wins a womans contempt The re ellion of the body is pun ished with disinheritance of the soul A man must ask for a womans hand but the heart goes without the asking The procrastinator will get to the graveyard just as soon as the man who hurries No one can tell what toy will de light the heart of the child or the soul of a man There is about as much rejoicing over a good man lost as there is over a bad one saved It is only in popular quotable documeuts that men are born with the constitutional blessing of free dom and equality
