I have a terrible wanderthirst; the very sight of a map makes me want to put on my hat and take an umbrella and start. I
shall see before I die the palms and temples of the South.

I believe absolutely in my own free will and my own power to accomplish - and that is the belief that moves mountains.

He compuesto un poema a la victoria:
¡Quién lo hubiera creído!
¡El doctor MacRae ha sonreído!
¡Es verdad!

It isn't the big troubles in life that require character. Anybody can rise to a crisis and face a crushing tragedy with courage, but to meet the petty hazards of the day with a laugh - I really think that requires spirit.
It's the kind of character that I am going to develop. I am going to pretend that all life is just a game which I must play as skillfully and fairly as I can. If I lose, I am going to shrug my shoulders and laugh - also if I win.

It isn't the big pleasures that count the most; it's making a great deal out of the little ones.

¡Qué graciosos son los hombres! Cuando quieren hacernos un cumplido dicen que tenemos una mentalidad masculina.
