Please to put a nickel, please to put a dime. How petitions trickle in at Christmas time!

Gossip isn't scandal and it's not merely malicious. It's chatter about the human race by lovers of the same.

Those wearing tolerance for a label call other views intolerable.

Praise is warming and desirable. But it is an earned thing. It has to be deserved, like a hug from a child.

Words can sting like anything, but silence breaks the heart.

Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing, peace is the measure.

A lady is smarter than a gentleman, maybe, she can sew a fine seam, she can have a baby, she can use her intuition instead of her brain, but she can't fold a paper in a crowded train.

When blithe to argument I come, Though armed with facts, and merry, May Providence protect me from The fool as adversary, Whose mind to him a kingdom is Where reason lacks dominion, Who calls conviction prejudice And prejudice opinion.

Marriage was all a woman's idea and for man's acceptance of the pretty yoke, it becomes us to be grateful.

A hobby a day keeps the doldrums away.

In Australia, not reading poetry is the national pastime.

Nothing fails like success; nothing is so defeated as yesterday's triumphant Cause.

Sisters are always drying their hair. Locked into rooms, alone, they pose at the mirror, shoulders bare, trying this way and that their hair, or fly importunate down the stair to answer the telephone.

Compromise if not the spice of life is its solidity. It is what makes nations great and marriages happy.

Ladies with curly hair. Have time to spare.

Of one thing I am certain the body is not the measure of healing peace is the measure.

Praise is warming and desirable. But it is an earned thing. It has to be deserved like a hug from a child.

The trouble with gardening is that is does not remain an a vocation. It becomes an obsession.

Suffering is as necessary to entertaining as vermouth is to a Martini - a small but vital ingredient.

It is the leisured, I have noticed, who rebel the most at an interruption of routine.

A bit of trash now and then is good for the severest reader. It provides the necessary roughage in the literary diet.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

I mean the only thing that is hopefully good about us is after the arguments we can actually still face each other the next day or the day after and talk about something else and sort of get over it.

My favorite singer to this day is Nat King Cole. I've tried to emulate his phrasing. It is so absolutely beautiful to listen to his lovely voice.

I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.

I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.

I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.

Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.

Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I'm a good friend or not a good friend. I'm more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That's just life, whether or not you're public.

Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day, as the poet's health, sight, his anticipations, moods, fears, thoughts cannot be the same.

A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you're rehearsing, you're working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you're doing the play, you have all day.

I'd like to one day play Amanda, the mother, in The Glass Menagerie.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I'm working harder than ever now, and I'm putting on my pants the same as I always have. I just get up every day and try to do a little better than the day before, and that is to run a great restaurant with great food, great wine, and great service. That's my philosophy.

Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.
