"Your mind, not your money, make you rich. Contentment is a blessing a millionaire's wealth couldn't purchase. If you would make a man happy, do not add to his possessions but subtract from the sum of his desires. The less you desire. the happier you are and the happier you are, the richer you are."

-Bridget Ellen O'Connor(Biddy Early)

"Men always want to be a woman's first love. Women have a more subtle instinct: What they like is to be a man's last romance."

"One should never trust a woman who tells her real age. If she tells that, she'll tell anything."

"My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all."
