"Beautiful old people are works of art...." - Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

“A guest is really good or bad because of the host or hostess who makes being a guest an easy or a difficult task.”

“All wars eventually act as boomerangs and the victor suffers as much as the vanquished.”

“All the water in the world cannot drown you unless it gets inside of you.”

“Slanders, sir, for the satirical rogue says here that old men have grey beards, that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes purging think amber and plum-tree gum, and that they have a plentiful lack of wit, together with most weak hams.”

“I was so wrinkled I could screw my hats on.”

“A good old man, sir. He will be talking. As they say, when the age is in, the wit is out.”

“In a way, you are poetry material; You are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out. Words burst in your essence and you carry their dust in the pores of your ethereal individuality.”

“Money, which represents the prose of life, and which is hardly spoken of in parlors without an apology, is, in its effects and laws, as beautiful as roses.”

“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.”
