I used to tell my husband that, if he could make me 'understand' something, it would be clear to all the other people in the country.

It was a wife's duty to be interested in whatever interested her husband, whether it was politics, books, or a particular dish for dinner.

I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.

Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.
