"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it."
"Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating." "A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her." "There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart... pursue those." "It is never a mistake to be kind." |
