Wenn es sich nun mal nicht ändern lässt, muss ich auch schon das Beste daraus machen.

Spiele sind sehr wichtig. Sie bereiten Jungen auf das große Spiel vor, das Leben heißt.

Frohe Weihnachten wünsche ich Ihnen allen! Und allen Menschen überall! Frohes, gesegnetes Fest!
But only be good, dear, only be brave, only be kind and true always, and then you will never hurt any one, so long as you live, and you may help many, and the big world may be better because my little child was born.

He would have been an honor to the name.
Earl of Dorincourt

When a man is very good and knows a great deal, he is elected president.
He knew nothing of earls and castles; he was quite ignorant of all grand and splendid things; but he was always lovable because he was simple and loving. To be so is like being born a king.

Du siehst nicht mehr so schön aus wie früher, aber fluchen kannst du immer noch.
