If Rosa Parks had taken a poll before she sat down in the bus in Montgomery, she'd still be standing. ↗

Strange, ain't it, how folks seem to resent anyone being born a mite cleverer than they be. ↗

It's the worst kind of cruelty — the thoughtless kind. You can't cope with it. ↗

The woods call to us with a hundred voices, but the sea has one only — a mighty voice that drowns our souls in its majestic music. The woods are human, but the sea is of the company of the archangels. ↗

Life may be a vale of tears, all right, but there are some folks who enjoy weeping, I reckon. ↗

It's delightful when your imaginations come true, isn't it? ↗

Oh, here we are at the bridge. I'm going to shut my eyes tight. I’m always afraid going over bridges. I can't help imagining that perhaps, just as we get to the middle, they'll crumple up like a jackknife and nip us. So I shut my eyes. But I always have to open them for all when I think we're getting near the middle. Because, you see, if the bridge did crumple up I'd want to see it crumple. What a jolly rumble it makes! I always like the rumble part of it. Isn't it splendid there are so many things to like in this world? There, we're over. Now I'll look back. Good night, dear Lake of Shining Waters. I always say good night to the things I love, just as I would to people. I think they like it. That water looks as if it was smiling at me. ↗

If you can sit in silence with a person for half an hour and yet be entirely comfortable, you and that person can be friends. If you cannot, friends you'll never be and you need not waste time in trying. ↗

It's dreadful what little things lead people to misunderstand each other. ↗
